Courier-IMAP-SSL on Debian

[sleepycat]

Hi,

I've reached the qmailrocks installation where I've installed courier-imap-ssl.

Everything seems to go fine until I try to log in via telnet to port 143:

/etc/init.d# telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2002 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution information.
a login xxx@xxx.xx yyyyyyy
a NO Login failed.
a login xxx@xxx.xx yyyyyyy
a NO Login failed.
a login xxx@xxx.xx yyyyyyy
Connection closed by foreign host.


the only thing that shows up in the log for that time is:
Aug 14 12:55:34 (none) imaplogin: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]


But I am noticing on courier startup i see this:
Aug 14 12:53:46 (none) authdaemond.plain: authdaemon: modules="authpam", daemons=5
Aug 14 12:53:49 (none) authdaemond.plain: authdaemon: modules="authpam", daemons=5


i've even tried following the set of fixes outlined in a previous thread:

http://www.qmailrocks.org/qmrbb/viewtopic.php?t=461

Is there something I should check for? I'd really love to get this working.

Thanks,
Paul.

I'm in the same situation, same problem.

Did you found any solution ?

I did, actually. But here's the problem. I did it so long ago that I can't remember what it was I did!

Sorry ...

[Specter]

Thanks anyway for the reply :)

I resolved the problem.
how:
- uninstall courrier packages
- follow the slackware method

it will work :)

Yep, try to compile Courier-Imap instead of apt-get installation. They have changed something on Courier-Imap and now in 4.* version MySQL autorisation does not work the way it used to.
I compiled Courier-imap myself and it works flawlessly now!
