I presume you're also getting a syslog from imspd like this:

	badlogin: <host> <user> <at> invalid user

The message:

	User does not have an account on this server

is associated with checks for the user's option database, i.e.,

	does the user have an option database?
	is imsp.create.new.users on?
	can the user's option database be created?

Databases are in /var/imsp.  There doesn't appears to be any checking  
of permissions, just presence (at least in v1.7b), so you can get odd  
situations where early checks indicate no problem but attempts to  
access a user's database get "file not found".  For example, /var/ 
imsp exists, complete with a bunch of user DBs.  However, the daemon  
can't read what's under it.
