I see that you are using sasldb2, which makes me think it may be the same problem I had. What I found was that SASL is being too helpful in trying to use the strongest authentication method possible. If SASL was build with Kerberos support and you aren't using Kerberos that is the only method mupdate will try, which of course will fail. You can tell if this is the case by executing: mupdatetest -p 3905 -u mupdater 128.6.239.23 and checking the "* AUTH" line for GSSAPI. I don't see a way of limiting the mupdate server's allowable auth mechs in the imapd.conf, but I found that renaming the /usr/lib/sasl2/libgssapiv2* plugins and restarting Cyrus on the mupdate server is a workable solution. -- Jim Levie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
