No Local User Accounts

[Martin Minogue]

Good afternoon,

I am writing to see if any might be able to offer suggestions on how to set
up Cyrus IMAP in a way where no local user accounts are necessary.

After much Googling I finally convinced sendmail to deliver incoming
messages to Cyrus, and send messages out from the ONE account that I got set
up (don't ask me how I did it - but I think its working because the user
name is also a local account).

My only remaining issue is trying to get Cyrus to allow people to log in and
retrieve their email.  I have created a few accounts using cyradm, and I
thought that all I had to do was set a name and password using saslpasswd,
but I cannot log in to any of the accounts that I have created?

Suggestions?  Any additional information that I need to provide in order for
someone to offer assistance will be eagerly and promptly provided.  My
sincere thanks.

Martin
