Hi, The courier imap program has to be able to reach the location, it might be that the location you defined, is not reachable by the user under which imapd runs, (for example imapd runs under barry-mailserver, and the permissions for /home/barry/Maildir is 700, he is never ever going to access it...) Hope this helps you a bit, cheers -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder Elvandar.org/DSINet.org www.mostly-harmless.nl Dutch community for helping newcomers on the hackerscene mrtg.grunn.org Dutch mirror of MRTG -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]Namens gareth bailey Verzonden: zaterdag 28 februari 2004 13:37 Aan: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Onderwerp: Courier-Imap authentication I recently installed Postfix MTA and Courier-Imap. Postfix is working correctly. I configured Courier-Imap, all seems well except i get a message when trying to connect from client saying "Fatal error: /home/barry/Maildir: Permission denied" I have created /usr/local/etcuserdb and run pw2userdb. I chmod 700 /usr/local/etc/userdb I created /home/barry/Maildir I ran userdb "barry@mydomain.com" set home=/home/barry mail=/home/barry/Maildir uid=x gid=x Then i ran userdbpw | userdb "barry@xiplan.com" set systempw .. and finally ran makeuserdb I think maybe i got the uid and gid incorrect. I thought that these were the values are stated in /etc/passwd (but maybe not?). What else could it be?
