Here's my setup: <URL:https://gist.github.com/bearcatsandor/ 99392eecc1038ad5a59b1442116127fe>https://gist.github.com/bearcatsandor/ 99392eecc1038ad5a59b1442116127fe

Based on the version string, this appears to be the IMAP module that's pulled out of the Courier package, rather than the courier-imap package proper. This was a Debian-ism that I didn't recommend.

Currently email *is* being delivered to /var/mail/vhosts/<URL:http://blackwatersiren.com/sirena/cur>blackwatersire n.com/sirena/cur. That means that the Postfix half it working at least. 

This also means that the Postfix side is using a completely separate mechanism for determining each email address's mailbox, rather than going through the courier-authlib module.

Having to maintain two different systems for mapping E-mail addresses to system mailboxes creates an inreased burden, and makes things more fragile than they need to be. I don't know much about Postfix, but having Postfix also use courier-authlib would be my recommended approach.

When i do `netcat <URL:http://mail.felinesoulsystems.com>mail.felinesoulsystems.com 143` and try to login i'm told NO (how rude!).

IMAP is a very rude protocol.

 If i do a `sudo /usr/sbin/authtest - s imap sirena *****` i get  Authentication FAILED: Operation not permitted.  Looking in the logs i see:



 userdb: opened /etc/courier/userdb.dat
userdb: looking up 'sirena'
userdb: required value 'home' is missing
authuserdb: REJECT - try next module



But if you look in that gist, i do have a home= parameter in that userdb, and i have restarted the various daemons (many times).

But did you run makeuserdb to compile /etc/courier/userdb into /etc/courier/userdb.dat, which is what's being read.
