Thanks, I will persevere. I would like to point out that I'm only using PAM as it seems the best way to get email to system users. I am open to another method that might work.
Anything that allows you to log in without password checking. For example a passwd-file containing only valid usernames and nopassword field. Or maybe SQLite query always returning success.
My pam.d/imap file now looks like this. # Provided by mailbase (dont remove this line!) # Standard pam.d file for mail service packages.# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-mail/mailbase/files/common- pamd-include,v 1.1 2005/04/29 13:07:50 ticho Exp $#auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_allow.so auth include system-auth account include system-auth session include system-auth This fails the authentication.
Yes, because you're still doing a system-auth lookup. You want to allow anyone to log in with any user/pass combination, so only keep the pam_allow.so line there.
