Hi List- First, thanks to whomever fixed anonymous access to the info-cyrus IMAP archive folder. I can now access the archive in my imap client (whereas I counldn't just a couple of days ago) and it's Sooooo much more convenient to review the archives this way than by a web page. Many thanks for that.
My question is pretty much what I've written in the subject line. I'm using all the latest software (cyrus-imapd, cyrus-sasl, openldap) and I've used ldapdb.c distributed with OpenLDAP to implement a LDAP auxprop plugin for use with Cyrus. When I make a new account in the LDAP directory, then make a new cyrus imap account with cyradm, then use an IMAP client to authenticate (using DIGEST-MD5) to the LDAP directory and check mail in the cyrus imap account, everything works just fine---as expected. I can watch the authentication process taking place in the logs (with lots of LDAP activity), and authentication succeeds and I'm granted access to the imap folder (this is a virtual domain account created with cyradm> cm [EMAIL PROTECTED]). However, when I remove the account parameters from the client configuration (I'm using Ximian Evolution) list (iow, delete the account from Evolution, leaving the server side untouched), then recreate the account (again in Evolution) with all the same settings except for using the POP protocol vice IMAP as the receive mail server type, I don't seem to be able to access the account. As with the Evolution IMAP account (which worked), I can watch the authentication process taking place in the LDAP logs, and apparently, according to slapd log entries, authentication succeeds, but then there is a final log entry: Oct 27 14:40:05 tombstone pop3[5760]: badlogin: localhost [127.0.0.1] DIGEST-MD5 authentication failure I also tried (and failed with same log entry) accessing the pop3 port using the other network interfaces, but ultimately, I'd like to have the pop3d listen only on the loopback interface. Thanks to Henrique's suggestion on Monday, I'm trying to use otrs (http://www.otrs.org) and all I'm really trying to do is be able to POP messages out of the account's imap folder into the otrs ticket queue using otrs's PostMasterPOP3.pl, but maybe I'm being silly thinking that one can POP any mail out of an IMAP account. It seems otrs is most well-suited to getting incoming mail into the ticket queue via the pop protocol. Does the pop3d in Cyrus look for a mbox style mail folder in /var/spool/mail or something (as opposed to the /var/spool/imap location)? Or is this not possible with virtual IMAP mailboxes? Perhaps I need to create a unix alias account (from postfix docs on virtual accounts) to use here? I've tried testing with pop3test and get the same results as with Evolution, except the output on the command line is simply: S: -ERR [AUTH] authenticating: authentication failure Authentication failed. generic failure Security strength factor: 128 Any tips would be most welcome.
