Question ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.

Hello all,

I have followed all instruction on this page http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...er-ispconfig-3 and all the following pages. Everything works fine except the mail (SquirreMail). Firewall and SELinux are both disabled. I get this error; ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server. Anyone knows what the system is trying to tell me? Thank you

Hi,

Looks like an authentication problem.
You should check the logs (most likely /var/log/maillog) to see why courier-imap rejects the connection.

Hi,

I don't know what part to look at. Here is the output of the log.
[root@virtual log]# cat maillog

Do this:

Code:
[root@redbox ~]# cp /etc/courier-imap/authdaemonrc /etc/courier/authlib/authdaemonrc
[root@redbox ~]# /etc/init.d/courier-authlib restart

Hi,

I ran the command but no success;

[root@virtual ~]# cp /etc/courier-imap/authdaemonrc /etc/courier/authlib/authdaemonrc
cp: cannot stat `/etc/courier-imap/authdaemonrc': No such file or directory
[root@virtual ~]#

I didn't read the howto you've used, but from the above looks like authdaemond is trying to authenticate against postgresql. If you are not using postgresql, remove the keyword "authpgsql" from the authmodulelist line in /etc/authlib/authdaemonrc and restart authdaemond
