I'm trying to get a qmail/vmailmgr/courier-imap setup going and am having a hell of a time doing it.

All of the packages emerge fine, of course, but I'm stuck after having defined a couple of test virtual users in vmailmgr and also indicating to courier-imap to use the authvmailmgr module for authentication. The authentications keep failing, but I'm not even sure what's going on b/c I'm not getting much log output from either courier-imap or, more importantly, vmailmgr.

One problem that I ran into on install (and I'm not sure I've fully fixed) is at the end of the emerge of vmailmgr, there's a message that says:

   To start vmailmgrd you need to link
   /var/lib/supervise/vmailmgrd to /service

This seemed strange, since I wasn't even aware of a /service directory, but I checked, and it was there, so I made a soft-link from /service/vmailmgrd -> /var/lib/supervise/vmailmgrd, which is, I assume, what that message means. But there's still no /etc/init.d/ script for vmailmgr and the only way I can try to start it is from a 'run' script that's in /var/lib/supervise/vmailmgrd. These starts a daemon, but it seems to be non-responsive to my queries and I can't even tell if the module is correctly receiving the queries from courier-imap b/c I can't get logging on vmailmgr to happen either.

I tried to very closely follow this HOWTO:
   http://www.linux.com/howtos/Qmail-VMailMgr-Courier-imap-HOWTO/x380.shtml
and I've looked closely at FAQs for vmailmgr and courier-imap to no avail.

Running out of alternatives to try here, does anyone have a similar configuration such that they could point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

John Lawler
