[HELP] courier-authdaemon frustration
Hi all! Helppp!!
I am having a frustrating time and can use some help! Using Christoph
Haas's tutorial (http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-sarge/) I am
trying to set up a server with virtual mailboxes using postfix, mysql
and courier-imap-ssl. The machine is an up-to-date Debian testing box.
I have the postfix/mysql part working great. Mail is delivered to the
virtual mailboxes. Getting courier-imap-ssl working is proving extremely
frustrating. The culprit seems to be courier-authdaemon, which annoyingly,
doesn't provide much useful debug info in the logs. :-/
Googling turns up quite a few references to courier-authdaemon's
"TEMPFAIL" errors but no real solutions. Mention is made to be sure there
are no trailing spaces in /etc/courier/ config files. Some say spaces can
be used to separate the values in each line. Others say only use tabs.
I have tried both ways--no difference. I have gone over the config files
carefully.
>From a remote machine I tried:
telnet -z ssl theshed.dhs.org 993 (which connects & gets a response from IMAP)
. login foobar foobarsecret (dummy test account I created)
. NO login failed. (server's response)
Connection closed by foreign host.
On the server side I get:
in /var/log/debug ...

Nov 21 15:43:02 pigpen imapd-ssl: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:x.x.x.x], username=foobar@theshed.dhs.org

136 Quit

137 Query SELECT email, "", XXXXXXXXXXXX, 5000, 5000, '/home/vmail', concat(email,'/'), "", "", "" FROM users WHERE email = "foobar@theshed.dhs.org"
137 Quit
NOTE: The "" before 'FROM users' seems wrong. But don't know where it
comes from, i.e. there are no extra quotes in the config files.
I'll append the config files below. I'd appreciate any help getting
Courier authdaemon going. From Google searches, etc. I have learned lots
of folks seem to have problems with authdaemon--and many don't. Seems to
be very black magic stuff, which is very annoying when you don't have the
spells. I like Courier but this becoming a real bear to configure.
At this point, I would gladly switch if there were a better IMAP-SSL server
UW's is to slow. I'm open to suggestions.
Help? Clues would be most welcome!! I'm running out of hair to pull. :-)
Thanks for the help... bob
