But now i have an issue with authenticating to my mailserver using courier imap. syslog: Code: May 17 16:03:33 debian imapd: LOGIN FAILED, [email protected], ip=[::1] May 17 16:03:33 debian imapd: authentication error: Input/output error autmysqlrc: Code: MYSQL_SERVER localhost MYSQL_USERNAME mail MYSQL_PASSWORD password MYSQL_HOME_FIELD /var/spool/mail/virtual/ MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD concat(home,'/',maildir) MYSQL_WHERE_CLAUSE enabled=1 thanks in advance regards
