Thanks for the idea but no joy :-(

Maybe the output I'm seeing may help.

Any further suggestions would be appreciated. I've a hunch that I may have to configure, make and install sasl and the imapd with appropriate options but I have no idea what options to set - I think I've tried the obvious ones. I'm sure it will be something trivial but that doesn't relieve my frustration :-(

Many Thanks

  short idea ...

  /etc/imapd.conf
  allowplaintext: yes ?
  sasl_pwcheck_method: sasldb ?

  check also with sasldblistuser if there any plain realms ?

    Betreff: Cyrus Install Blues on SuSe Linux


    Hi

    I'm trying to set up a Cyrus mail server on SuSe Linux (7.2) and am about to go crazy :-(

    I've tried unsuccessfully downloading and the tar.gz files from the Cyrus website. However, I have successfully installed from SuSe RPM packages:

    cyrus-imapd 2.0.16-361 
    cyrus-sasl 1.5.24-59 
    perl-Cyrus-IMAP 2.0.16-361 
    perl-Cyrus-SIEVE-acap 2.0.16-361 
    perl-Cyrus-SIEVE-managesieve 2.0.16-361 

    I am able to run the tests in the docs using telnet and imtest. I have added folders with cyradm and users with saslpasswd. However, I can't authenticate with PLAIN (using imtest) and can't connect to the IMAP server from Netscape or Outlook Express.

    My imapd.log is attached for reference.

    I've scoured the manuals and know that the problem is probably with sasl. I've tried many different configurations, reinstalls and compilations but to no avail :-(

    Any help from the wise and battle scarred would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Neil Williams
