    greetings
    sorry for the cross post. this question is also in the Mail forum.

    i am following the this Article:
    https://www.afp548.com/Articles/Jaguar/postfix2.html

    I have just completed Step 1

    xinetd has started and i have a running pid. Now,…
    i guess the IMAP/POP file are already installed because i never installed them. i only upgraded pine to 4.55 ( as per the Article)

    When the User trys to access the pop or imap account the username or password is not recognized. Since my user exists only in Netinfo do i have to export him to a flatfile? ( I don’t think i should have to do this ).
    osx 10.2.6 server

    any assistance is helpful.

    -ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command

    I’m pretty sure i compiled without SSL. This happened the last time I did an install. i followed the instructions and I get the same results.
    BTW this is osx server, not that it should make a difference.

    ok,…after a few brain bashers

    I removed all the binaries and src
    unpacked again
    ./build clean

    ./build osx

    it still did not work. So i went to the /var/mail directory (where i had my test accounts) 2 users were there holmer and marge. Dleted them, restarted the whole damn box and Whamo!!

    — friggin thingy worked. pop and imap
    now,… can anyone tell me where i can get some good info on setting up imap folders for peoples. As I can see,… it assumes the entire users home folder as the place to store mail. i would like to simplify the options for storage for my clients.

    tnx

    I got the same:
    -ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command

    And I run the procedures by the book, and postfix is UP but noone can send nor retrieve mail, I have another question, how can a include the /usr/local/bin into the PATH ?

    Thanks

    The AUTHORIZATION problem still ocurs, the POSTFIX problem was due to main.cf configuration.

    How to fix the AUTHORIZATION PROBLEM ?

    ❓
