I've been searching for the answer to my problem for most of the day. I have a mail server running a local domain, but is ready to add virtual domains. postfix + courier imap + cyrus sasl + mysql, etc... following the gentoo "virtual mailhosting system with postfix guide"

Everything seems to be working fine. I can send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the system recognizes the local domain and delivers the appropriate emails to /home/user/.maildir/new just like it's suppose to. On the actual server I can go into the .maildir and view the emails.

When trying to connect remotely with an email client (thunderbird) I can't seem to authenticate... and it's driving me crazy. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

#tail -f /var/log/messages

Feb  9 15:43:52 myhost imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:216.xxx.xxx.xx]
Feb 9 15:43:55 myhost imapd: LOGIN FAILED, [EMAIL PROTECTED], ip=[::ffff:216.xxx.xxx.xx]
Feb  9 15:43:55 myhost imapd: authentication error: Input/output error

Where is my configuration problem most likely? In my /etc/postfix/main.cf file? or in my courier configs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Darren
