authdaemon LOGIN: REJECT

[dgradzik]

I spend two days trying to figure out why I was getting this crazy message on Debian Sarge 3.1 with courierpop3login:

Sep 21 09:51:28 cobra courierpop3login: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:XX.XXX.XX.140], command=CAPA
Sep 21 09:51:28 cobra courierpop3login: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:XX.XXX.XX.140], command=USER
Sep 21 09:51:28 cobra courierpop3login: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:XX.XXX.XX.140], command=PASS
Sep 21 09:51:28 cobra courierpop3login: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:XX.XXX.XX.140], username=web1_generic
Sep 21 09:51:28 cobra courierpop3login: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:XX.XXX.XX.140], password=something
Sep 21 09:51:28 cobra courierpop3login: authdaemon: starting client module
Sep 21 09:51:28 cobra courierpop3login: authdaemon: REJECT

solution is realy simple:

I changed the /etc/courier/authdaemonrc:

FROM
authmodulelist="authuserdb"

TO
authmodulelist="authuserdb authpam"

This worked and I can check my mail through pop3, imap etc...

Just in case anyone googles

Thank you. I'm reading the basics on Debian and I will install when I'm comfortable. I'll cut/paste this to notes just incase

Just copied (not moved!) the thread to Tips/Tricks; I think it makes sense to have it also in that forum.
