I telnetted with the same result:

* BYE [ALERT] Fatal error: Maildir: No such file or directory

It authenticates against the correct domain, however it is unable to find
the Maildir/ for that user.. In the case where I have an account with the
same  username/password on the default domain and and the vipmap'd domain, I
am able to log in to the vipmap'd domain, but I get my default-domains
Maildir/ .  This indicates to me that the authentication takes place
properly, but authvchkpw tries to put me in the default domains directory
instead of the vipmap'd one.. Perhaps I'm wrong on that one, but for some
reason Courier/authvchkpw is not finding the right directory..

For the time being, I have put a note on our squirrel mail login page to use
the full email address(which works fine), but I'd like to let users on
certain vipmap'd domains log into squirrelmail without their full email
address... POP3 functionality is working fine, which is why I believe the
problem is with authvchkpw, but since it is built using libvpopmail.a, it
could also be a vpopmail issue.. Thanks again in advance for any help you
can give,

Andre

You mention that SquirrelMail does not work.  What if you telnet to 143
and test login that way?  My guess is that squirrelmail is not passing
the correct IP to courier-imap.  One possible workaround would be to
have squirrelmail look at the HTTP_HOST header and append the domain to
the login.  I used to do this for my customers.  I there's even a
plugin now.
