[courier-users] LOGIN NO Error in IMAP command received by server.

[Mustafa Hashmi]

Hi all,

I am sure most of you have seen this error message
before, unfortunately I couldn't find a solution.

I have qmail installed and working with the Maildir
system. I sent myself a test message and see it in my
Maildir/new folder.

Courier Imap was compiled with just the following auth
module:

--with-authmysql

I made sure all other modules were disabled as this
setting suits me best.

My MySQL table is setup exactly as the example shows,
and my table entry for the testuser is as follows:

(listed by field)

id: sysadmin
crypt: <unix crypted passwd>
clear: <clear text passwd>
name: SysAdmin
uid: 1000
gid: 50
home: /
maildir: /home/sysadmin/Maildir/
quota:

I have tried changing home to /home/sysadmin & Maildir
to simply Maildir/, however, that didn't help.

The log files for mail.log show the following when I
try to connect:

-------------------------
Feb 14 21:39:34 denet2 imapd: Connection,
ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Feb 14 21:39:52 denet2 imapd: LOGOUT,
ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
-------------------------

LOGOUT is the only command which appears to work.

On telnet to localhost 143, the following message
appears:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2001 Double
Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution
information.

I have not tried the
--enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs option,
however, that shouldn't really matter if I am
telneting to localhost(?)

I am running this on Debian (stable) - Courier iMAP
starts normally and the proc listing shows the
following:

25759 ? S 0:00
/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authdaemond.mysql

I hope this isn't too long a post! :)

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks all.

Regards,
Mustafa.

Thanks for the quick response :)

I did try that - in fact, my original message had a
log of my attempts and the error message (along with
the mail.log / mysql.log lines).

Unfortunately that doesn't work either, and the same
error message (LOGIN NO Error in IMAP command received
by server) comes up. (I also tried setting this up via
Outlook, no luck).

Is there any configuration option the server is
especially sensitive to? Are we talking about the
authmysqlrc file and the database setup?

I appreciate your help!

Thanks,

This will help you verify if your authentication is
working correctly. If
this fails, then your authentication might be
incorrectly setup.

Well, then something is wrong with your authentication. What you need to do
is stop trying with outlook (because you won't get any useful info out of
it) and start examining all your config files, along with a careful
scrutiny of all the logs. I don't use the MySQL auth mechanism, so I can't
be of more assistance there.

[Mustafa Hashmi]

Got it working! The problem was, like you said, in the
configuration files. I was going over them and
searching though previous posts - the problem was
actually white space after some variable settings :)

Lovely :)

I appreciate your help.

Are there any suggestions on a good imap client for
the web? I am looking at horde, squirrelmail and
webmail (are there anymore?) - which one would you all
recommend?

thanks again Anand!

Yes SqWebmail works excellent, the idea is excellent too, we have squirrel mail and some people on campus dislike it some do like it. Plus you just use the same auth modules and similar if not same config files.

Cheers,

Aly.
