[vchkpw] Problems authentication users with Courier IMAP

[Thomas Korsgaard]

Hello List,

I'm new to mail servers, please bear with me if this is trivial.

I've installed qmail, qmailadmin and vpopmail. That seemed to work fine. The mail server was running, and I could foreward emails, like I wanted. Though I wanted to get a webmail running, so I installed Courier IMAP, in order to use squirrelmail. This however stopped to mail forewarding. (?)

I wanted to be able to use the users I created with vpopmail in the IMAP server, but there seems to be an authentication problem. Courier IMAP cannot "see" the users that I created with vpopmail. When I try to login to the IMAP server i get:

Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2005 Double Precision, Inc.  See COPYING for distribution information.
. login [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12345678
. NO Login failed.

I've changed the authmodulelist in the authdaemonrc file to:

authmodulelist="authvchkpw"

And I've tied this as well:

authmodulelist="authuserdb authpam authpgsql authldap authmysql authcustom authpipe authvchkpw"

Doesent change anything. The maillog says this:

Everytime I try to login to the server.  Is there any one here that might have a solution?
It would be appreciated.

Yours,
