Can anyone else reproduce this problem? What version of courier-imap are you using?
The authlib/preauthvchkpw.c file is worth checking against the one on the inter7 page. Mysql Quits can be caused by a program not calling mysql_close before exiting. Which in of itself would not cause an authentication failure. It's worth double checking your courier-imap configuration file. The one that specifies max client connections. The vpopmail ChangeLog shows the change to the email parser function and also reports that it fixed all known problems. To really track down the problem, lots of debugging output is needed to isolate what is ocurring. Hopefully leading to a solution :) Ken Jones On Friday 20 September 2002 04:20 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I upgraded to 5.3.8 - and am still seeing this behavior. > > *sigh* > > Is this limited to Courier? > > Quoting Dzuy Nguyen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > There is a bug in vpopmail's email parser function which adds extra > > character to the end of user login > > at times, when called by courier.
