OK, apparently, i have a problem, but it's more a SASL problem. I set passwords with "saslpasswd2 -c logon" and then tried to check whether it worked with the command : "testsaslauthd -u logon -p password" and it doesn't work... :S
I checked the logs, here's what i found : in /var/log/secure: # Jan 21 17:12:28 demovm33 saslauthd[3393]: pam_unix(imap:auth): check pass; user unknown # Jan 21 17:12:28 demovm33 saslauthd[3393]: pam_unix(imap:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= # Jan 21 17:12:28 demovm33 saslauthd[3393]: pam_succeed_if(imap:auth): error retrieving information about user logon in /var/log/messages: # Jan 21 17:12:20 demovm33 saslauthd[3351]: server_exit : master exited: 3351 # Jan 21 17:12:21 demovm33 saslauthd[3376]: set_auth_mech : unknown authentication mechanism: map # Jan 21 17:12:27 demovm33 saslauthd[3392]: detach_tty : master pid is: 3392 # Jan 21 17:12:27 demovm33 saslauthd[3392]: ipc_init : listening on socket: /var/run/saslauthd/mux # Jan 21 17:12:31 demovm33 saslauthd[3393]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=logon] [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] OK, so that's when in /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd i have one line saying : # MECH=pam I tried with several other "MECH" but i still get errors like, for instance with MECH=shadow : # Jan 21 17:11:41 demovm33 saslauthd[3318]: server_exit : master exited: 3318 # Jan 21 17:11:41 demovm33 saslauthd[3351]: detach_tty : master pid is: 3351 # Jan 21 17:11:41 demovm33 saslauthd[3351]: ipc_init : listening on socket: /var/run/saslauthd/mux # Jan 21 17:11:43 demovm33 saslauthd[3352]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=logon] [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=shadow] [reason=Unknown] I couldn't try to use the MECH=sasldb because natively the sasldb mech is disabled, so i have two options : 1. compile a new saslauthd from sources that supports sasldb (i tried and failed, i get error coming from the .c and .h files :-/ ) 2. have it working without the sasldb, which i guess is possible... i mean i only need a simple login/password thing, it's not that complex So anyway, when _you_ use this cyrus-imapd thing, do you authenticate with the sasldb by typing login/password, or do you do it another way ? Hope it's clearer now to you (it isn't to me... ;) ) Any idea, please ? @Alain> about this RCTP TO error, i'd say it comes from the SMTP, but i don't understand what you meant by "Ave you configured your SMTP to accept [EMAIL PROTECTED] ?", do i have to configure something on the SMTP side ?
