Re: [Courier-imap] Courier MySQL authentication issue

2008-04-11 Thread bsd
Thanks for your support,

I already have tried to change the MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD to  
MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD and It didn't work.

So I have found a VERY good solution, simple and efficient: move to  
dovecot // two hours of work and everything is up and running  
perfectly (pop3 pop3s imap imaps).


Among other thing:

- documentation is much better,
- config file is simpler,
- integration with MySQL is way better and does not rely on third  
party software.


So I guess this is my last post… But I am happy!


Good luck everyone.

 It gives a very accurate message.

 Almost certainly you have a mistake in your authmysqlrc, but if you  
 don't
 post it, how can we help you?

 Apr 10 20:22:49 sd-12545 authdaemond: SQL query: SELECT username,
 password, , 2001, 2001, '/var/mail/', maildir, , name,  FROM
 mailbox WHERE username = [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 and the order of columns is:

 username, cryptpw, clearpw, uid, gid, home, maildir, quota, fullname,
 options

 So, my guess is that in authmysqlrc you've said that your 'password'  
 column
 contains an encrypted password (MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD). You need to  
 tell it
 that this column contains a plaintext password (MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD)

You would have to restart authdaemond too.

If you did that, and authentication still failed, then almost certainly you
would have got a different error message. Showing it could have helped to
debug the problem.

There's a very useful guide on how to get the results you want when posting
to mailing lists here:

Cool, glad you've got a solution you're happy with.

Regards,

Brian.

 i changed my config from see below
 
 the login via imap and pop is working, but maildrop stopped to work together
 
 this is the error message in /var/log/mail.log

Have you tried authtest [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? What does it show? If it
fails, do you see anything in logs if you crank up authdaemond logging?

[Courier-imap] Converting IMAP-UW to Courier (UIDL)

2008-04-11 Thread Tom Grove
So, it doesn't look like I am the first person to ask this but I  
haven't found any substantive answers.  I need to move away from IMAP- 
UW because the old UNIX style mailboxes do not scale and the new mix  
format seems a bit hosed (Crispin is also not getting back to me  
regarding the problems I'm having).  I already have about 50 users out  
of 550 moved to Courier and they work great because they are IMAP users.

I am going to start a mass conversion but before I do I need to find a  
workaround for the difference in UIDLs.  Basically, if POP users  
choose to leave a copy of the messages on the server and I move their  
messages they will all get downloaded again causing dupes.  Dovecot  
has a way to mask the UIDL so that it looks like IMAP-UW.  Is there a  
way to do this in Courier or some similar workaround?  Thanks.

-Tom

Nope, there isn't.
