Hello! I have configured and installed Cyrus IMAP 2.1.13 and SASL 2.1.10 and Postfix 2.0.13 on my SuSE8.1 system by following a HowTo. I have gotten everything to work okay, except that I can not access my IMAP accounts with a remote email client (Outlook express, Netscape, etc). By viewing the accounts I can see that the accounts are receiving mail and I can send mail by telnetting in to Postfix, so I know they are working. By viewing cyradm, I can see the accounts and the quotas are increasing.
I just wanted to make sure I am not missing something obvious, before I really have to dig deep into debug process. I have mainly tested with OE, because that is what most people will use to connect. I have setup OE with the following: Incoming / Outgoing server: (internal IP Address) Username: (name of mailbox as shown in cyradm) Password: (as set with cyradm) Root Folder Path: ( / ) I can connect to my server, however, it will report the error "The server has rejected your name and password." In my mail log, relevant information error below is displayed: saslauthd [990]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module saslauthd [990]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=hukok] [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=pam] My users and aliases, with passwords, are stored in MySQL and retrieved by PAM with SASL. I believe this is the an error with my PAM or SASL, but I wanted to make sure I had configured the remote clients correctly. Thanks! David W
