Courier problems

Jukas · 09-22-2005, 08:00 PM

I've been going through the qmailrocks install and I'm up to the portion on Courier. I'm running into a problem where I can't login via a telnet window to the IMAP service

Code:

* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THRE
AD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP ready. Copyr
ight 1998-2004 Double Precision, Inc.  See COPYING for distribution information.
a login me@myniftydomain.com passwd
a NO Login failed.

However I can login fine through the pop3 service (vpopmail)

Code:

+OK <27433.1127436844@myniftydomain.com>
user
-ERR syntax error
user me@myniftydomain.com
+OK
pass passwd
+OK
list
+OK
.

I don't see a seperate log directory for courier in /var/log and I can't find any reference to a failed login in the auth, user or syslog and I can see the imap service running.

Code:

nix:/var/log# ps -aux | grep courier
Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html

Anyone know what I'm missing or able to point me in a direction to look to?

In further troubleshooting I was able to turn on debug logging and when I try and log into the account I see the following

Sep 23 10:07:18 nix imaplogin: DISCONNECTED, ip=[::ffff:216.229.107.32], time=8

Seems to be passing the username and password fine, but then disconnects. The exact same u/p works via pop3 no problem so it seems to only be a problem with the Imap service.

Any ideas?

Problem found and solved. Yay!
