Hello,
I see the PLAIN mech being advertised by the server. I'd check and make sure the SASL libraries can be found by the imtest client.

hi all,
i've newly built/installed:
exim-4.43 cyrus-imap-2.28 cyrus-sasl-2.1.19
on OSX 10.3.5
plus, i've been moving to MySQL support for vitrual domanis using VExim ...
so, at this point, exim seems to run fine, responding to send-tests, etc. as expected.
when testing cyrus-imap w/ TLS, however, i'm having some issues. specifically, when i:
% /usr/local/cyrus-imap/bin/imtest -t "" -m plain -a testuser -p imap testdomain.com
it fails with an "Authentication failed. no mechanism available":

now, i'll bet i've misconfigured something ... but durned if i can find it (yet). i'm crusing the list, as well, but am not yet familiar enuf with what to even look for.
fwiw, my imapd.conf is:
admins: testuser postmaster: postmaster
virtdomains: yes
defaultdomain: testdomain.com servername: testserver.testdomain.com
configdirectory: /etc/cyrus-imap/ partition-default: /var/spool/imap sievedir: /var/sieve sieve_maxscriptsize: 32 sieve_maxscripts: 5

allowanonymouslogin: no allowplaintext: yes sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN
any/all pointers/suggestions are much appreciated,
