Cyrus IMAP Installation

807557Dec 3 2008 — edited Dec 9 2008
Hi there

I am currently trying to install Cyrus IMAP on my Solaris 10 box.
I am however not getting any pleasure from it.

Here is the scenario:

I installed the following packages:
cyrus-imapd-2.3.9.tar.gz
cyrus-sasl-2.1.22.tar.gz
db-4.7.25.tar.gz

I need the berkley DB to store all the user information for the email accounts.

When i connect to the IMAP server via telnet and try to log in, I get the following message:
root@getafix:/usr/local/bin/imtest -m PLAIN -u cyrus localhost
S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID LOGINDISABLED AUTH=OTP AUTH=GSSAPI AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5 SASL-IR] getafix Cyrus IMAP4 v2.3.9 server ready

. OK Completed
Connection closed.
Cyrus SASL is installed with all the mechanisms for authentication that i need.

Can anybody give me some guidence here, please. :(
