Courier-imap, Mysql, and virtual users

Has anybody tried to use the mysql authentication for courier-imap? I have postfix working beautifully... but courier does not seem to even recognize mysql. I have the authdaemond.mysql compiled and the authmysqlrc seems to be configured right... Anyone tried this combo or ran into any similar probs?

Thanks,

Beavis

Did you ever get this to work? I'm having the same problem.

I have this setup on one of my server and it works great with postfix and courier-imap doing lookups to the same db.

One problem I ran into was authdaemond.mysql never actually trying to connect to mysql. That has been fixed in recent versions. Did you double check that mysql is logging, and tail -f the query log? That will tell you if it is logging in, and if so what it is checking for.

I got it working, I had a couple of problems. The mysql.sock was wrong and I used PASSWORD() instead on ENCRYPT() to store the encrypted password.

I actually got this to work a while ago... everything was ok xcept one setting in courier... one of those "YOU MUST COMMENT THIS LINE FOR XXX TO START" settings...

felt like a doof, but at least it works now
