Most of them will (by default) authenticate against the system password file. The best hints are probably to be found in the log file, but you might need to configure the daemon for greater verbosity first. With dovecot, I used "verbose_ssl = yes" to do so. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Imap authentication
I have been using pop to download email messages. I'd like to switch to imap. My mail server is running FreeBSD 5.3 The imap executable is in /usr/local/libexec and inetd.conf is setup right. I can telnet to port 143 I am talking to the imapd daemon. However, I can't seem to get logged in. It seems to not like the username and password I provide. I am providing the username and password that will work to login interactively to the server. I assume there is a different authentication method besides the standard password file, but as yet I haven't been able to find what that might be. Clearly I am missing something here. Any pointers to how to set up imap accounts on the mail server would be appreciated.

RE: Courier-Imap authentication
Hi, The courier imap program has to be able to reach the location, it might be that the location you defined, is not reachable by the user under which imapd runs, (for example imapd runs under barry-mailserver, and the permissions for /home/barry/Maildir is 700, he is never ever going to access it...)

I once thought about using Maildir too, but when it came time to switch to IMAP, I tried Cyrus first (my other choice was Courier), and since it works so well, never looked back.

What impact on performance has the IMAP server? IOW, how long does it take to open such a maildir if you access it directly?

Hi! > In addition, does anyone have a preference on the use of a pop3/imap > setup for a mail server? Well, you've opened the can of worms :-) It is my understanding that UW-IMAP is not the best possible IMAP server out there. I've read about lots of security problems with it in the past.

IMAP Authentication
All, Im fairly new to FreeBSD but am getting the basics down. Im trying to setup a new FreeBSD server for email use here at work for external customers. Our customer's currently use Squirrelmail on Linux boxes. Ive got FreeBSD 4.7 with Postfix and qpopper working with virtual domains. With Squirrelmail, you use the IMAP protocol, but, I cant seem to get users authenticated. Ive install the imap-uw port and added the lines in pam.conf that they suggest in the pkg-message in the ports directory, but, when users try to login, I see a "imapd[x]: Login disabled user=user auth=user host=localhost.mydomain.com [127.0.0.1] (substitute "user for a username" and "localhost.mydomain" for the hostname/domainname of the box). Being new to IMAP (cuz damnit, the POP3 is working!), Im not sure what the problem is. Ive looked on the UW IMAP site, but, I couldnt find anything useful. Im sure someone knows, you guys are smart. :) In addition, does anyone have a preference on the use of a pop3/imap setup for a mail server? All this box will do is pop mail and provide a web interface to their mailbox. I dont really care what pop3/imap setup I use, so long as it works, but, if one is better than another for my situation, does anyone have a suggestion?
