Hi all,
I was asked in the last days from a few people by private mail how far I am with thy try of installing Cyrus IMAP or other IMAP-server. here is a short view of the state:
-> then I've found a "hint" for Cyrus on the wiki of Cyrus self - about authentication and authorization. a rule - if using SASL for authetication - that was missing on all tutorials and even in the magazine from "heise" about linux and openSUSE was about the fact that there is need for a password entry in the db of SASL. so, after running a "sasslpasswd2 cyrus" I've set the coorrect password for user cyrus. now I could login via cyradm and try the first steps for administration of cyrus-IMAP.
For normal logins using PAM (see also my other mail doing PAM+GSSAPI): /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd: SASLAUTHD_AUTHMECH=pam /etc/imapd.conf: sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: LOGIN PLAIN to use sasldb2 (e.g. for crammd5 or digestmd5), you can use sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop and don't forget to install the "cyrus-sasl-xxx" mechanism packages.
-> I'm able to connect with Thunderbird to the server - but no connection via Outlook. damm.
Hmm... I've had no problems with OExpress, but because I just tryed it one time and never really used them, I can't say anything about. Did you enabled imaps and pop3s services in /etc/cyrus.conf?
but I'm a lot of steps nearly tothe point I need to be, because all the other needed stuff ( fetchmail, procmail ) is allready working.
Ahm... You can use server based "sieve" scripts, see "man sieveshell".
