<DIV>Thanks. That's what I would have thought, but I am clearly getting
something wrong. I have dovecot with ldap installed, and I thought I had it
configured to talk with our ldap server the same way the courier imap (which
works fine) does, but all was getting was an authentication failure with
timeout.<BR><BR>Tried running tcpdump on the ldap server to watch the exchange,
but it didn't reveal much. I'm not an expert at reading tcpdump output, but it
looks like when I connect to the dovecot imap server and try to log in, it opens
a connection to the ldap server and then.... nothing happens. I don't see any
data exchange occurring. But as I said, I am not an expert at reading tcpdump
output.</DIV>
