Using passwd-file authentication I run into some problems.. This is my passwd file:
user:0cc175b9c0f1b6a831c399e269772661[34]:6660:6660:0:/some/mail/directory/user:0:::
My MUA tells me after enter my user/pass that the server disconnected, OK. So I netcat into the imap server, and issue an "C: LOGIN user a" in which case I get the error "Fatal: USER environment missing". So I search for this in the src and find in 'src/imap/main.c' on line 30 it checks for the environment variable USER.. which I assume it can't find because it's not an actual system user, it's a ficticious user in a passwd-file.
Any ideas?
