Hello,
I have a very strange problem now with Dmail. I have been authenticating to mssql via odbcauth for some time now, and it has been working fine. I recently switched to MYsql still using odbcauth and now I can login and get the mail sometimes, but most of the time I receive this error:
'-ERR problem with open or lock of your mail file - maildrop failed check'
I have tried using mysqlauth, however, my users passwords are in clear text,
and I have not been able to get mysql to use clear text passwords. (even though
it says in the manual that clear text is default)
I will include a log at the bottom of this email for inspection. Please let me
know if anyone has any idea what is causing this asap as this is affecting more
that 4000 clients.
I believe the problem is dmail is not coping with the long response from the
authent module, if you modify
your odbcauth.ini to only return fields that are required by the mail server
then that should fix the
problem.
I strongly recommend upgrading to surgemail at some point.

Thank you very much,
