Where do you want your user-accounts instead?


I want to have cyrus user accounts where no system user exists. Is that
possible? The reason is, I have a number of cyrus accounts for the same
user.



Yes of course, this is possible. You can use sasldb for example. Create your useraccounts with saslpasswd2 or saslpasswd. And tell it Cyrus in /etc/
imapd.conf:


sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
sasl_auxprop_plugin: sasldb



I did that, and now ALL users fail with the same user disabled error.

I've searched the web for this error and there are thousands of references, most with different solutions. One that I tried involved modifying the pam.conf file. The recomendation made it so my box woudn't boot. Fortunately I was able to recover the original conf file.

I'm afraid to keep trying solutions that may not work and may hurt my install. Is there an easy answer to this?

I need to do this because different accounts have different user email
addresses for sending. If an email client could have different
send-from addresses based on folder, then this wouldn't be an issue,
however Mozilla doesn't do this, and I don't know of a client that does.



Cyrus-Imap is not related to sending Mails outside.




I know Cyrus isn't related to this. I was just trying to explain why I needed so many accounts.

Thank you,
