This is great. I have been banging my head against the wall here. Let me tell you what I want to do and you tell me if it even possible.
1. I moved to cyrus from UW because of the ability to create virtual mailboxes and sasl has worked fine 2, I also have a mysql database that contains user info and is also used to authenticate users for various parts of the website including my web based imap client. what I want to do is 1. combine the creation of cyrus mailboxes with record creation in the sql db 2. have cyrus use pam_mysql to look up and authenticate passwords from the sql database are 1 or 2 possible ? I have compiled pam_mysql as directed and tested it with pam module for the sudo and it definetely checks the database when I use it there. The same is not true for imap, no queries are made to the database and nothing seems to work except sasl I am working on an intel redhat linux 7.1 system. Thanks in advance.
