courier-imap authentication (solved)
 

Is there a way to get courier-imap to authenticate based on system users? For example, if do adduser test and create the user test, I have the directory /home/test. So I want courier imap to reconize this, and store mail in /home/test/Maildir according to the documentation. My first time using maildir so figured I'd try it out since it sounds to be much better then mbox. I'm using postfix for my MTA, which is set to Maildir. For pop3 I'm using qpopper, which reconizes users the way I want, but courier-imap seems to not want to, and I'm pretty sure it supports that. The documentation does not seem to mention this though, it only mentions virtual users.

Turns out I have to create the Maildir for it to authenticate properly. So it works, now my only culipit is that received mail is not going in it, so how do I manage that? Thanks in advance.

lol I fixed that problem too. I guess I'm asking questions too quick if something goes wrong. Don't ask what I did to fix it though. :D I think it has to do with the /etc/procmailrc file I pasted which has this:

Figured I'd post it for the records if ever someone runs into the same problem.
