    Hi,

    I know, there're many threads covering this issue but none of it seem to help me out. The problem is that i can't login into the pop3 server.

    Here's more details:
    -The pop3 server is running (check via various site)
    -I can connect with telnet to the pop3 on port 110
    -I can't login on telnet using either webx_xxx or [email protected] logins (results in error: login failed)
    -The user account is there in /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd
    -I send a mail and it's in the user maildir.
    -My authdaemonrc is set to: modulelist="authuserdb authpam" (setting it only to authpam doesn't work either):

    #
    # authdaemonvar is here, but is not used directly by authdaemond.  It's
    # used by various configuration and build scripts, so don't touch it!
    
    authdaemonvar=/var/run/courier/authdaemon
    
    Login in via webmail doesn't work either. (of course using the correct logins: emailadress for webmail, username for pop3, but other combinations don't work either)
    All users are there in virtualuser table of postfix.

    Any help/hints is greatly appreciated!

    Please change authmodulelist to this:

    authmodulelist="authpam"

    and restart all courier daemons. Which error message do you get in the mail.log?

    Hi thanks for quick reply.

    I modified the file as you said, and restarted the following services:
    courier-authdaemon
    courier-pop-ssl
    courier-pop
    courier-imap
    courier-imap-ssl

    After restarting courier-authdaemon i get the following errors:
    Code:
    /etc/init.d/courier-authdaemon restart
    : command not foundthdaemon: /usr/lib/courier/authlib/authdaemond: line 19:
    : command not foundthlib/authdaemond: line 26:
    : command not foundthlib/authdaemond: line 28:

    done.

    : command not foundthlib/authdaemond: line 62:
    : command not foundthlib/authdaemond: line 67:
    done.
    
    But still no luck,
    Code:
    telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 110
    Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ...
    Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx .
    Escape character is '^]'.
    +OK Hello there.
    USER web6_drjake
    +OK Password required.
    PASS xxxx
    -ERR Login failed.
    

    the mail.log shows the following entries;
    Code:

    ----
    On a side note: newly added sites do not appear to be created in de vhosts file. I don't think its related but what would cause that?

    You messed up one of your courier files, maybe the Courier init scripts? Please check all your courier files. It seems you have authdaemond/usr/sbin/authdaemond in one of them.
