About 5 mins after I sent that email I remembered about bincimapd. It works great, should have used it from the beginning.

I don't get the point of not just using vchkpw instead of trying to use libvpopmail, but hey, I'm dumb. ;)

I've been trying for 24 hours now, to get an IMAP server which will autenticate off of vpopmail cdb database and the auth module always segfaults on login.

I'm using vpopmail 5.5.0 only because it is the only version which seems to create a dynamically linked version of the library.

I tried latest releases dovecot 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. Also latest mercurial pulls of 1.1 and 1.2.

Even old versions of courier-imap and courier-authlib do it, but with these I can try older versions of vpopmail cause they don't require the dynamically linked version of libvpopmail. So I'm thinking it is something with Ubuntu 9.04 and pretty much all third party vpopmail authentication code.

Strangely qmail-pop3d works fine with vchkpwd, just I cannot find any IMAP server that will work no matter what combination of vpopmail and version of the IMAP server.

If anyone can figure this out I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks, Tim

P.S. I'm going nuts here, trying to get Squirrelmail back up for customers, but I'm absolutely stuck.

I'm using vpopmail 5.4.17 with dovecot 1.0.10. Have you tried rolling your own vpopmail?
