hi there!

i am using cyrus,postfix mail. i am having problems for checking users mail
password from the mysql db. i was doing it previously, my db and mail was in
the same server. but i wanna move the db to a different server now. i have
done the following things,

* added an user in mysql for the mail server
* changed the imapd.conf accordingly

but it failed to connect the database. most surprisingly it is communicating
the local db provided the local mysqld is running and it is checking
password from the local db. how is that possible?!!

i am sending u the copy of my imapd.conf,
