The imap-4.5-1.rpm in the 5.9 package didn't allow a user mail checking program to completly log in. It allows connection to establish and sits there. User must end connection on their end. Mar 20 16:17:48 starbuck ipop3d[1086]: port 110 service init from XXX.48.248.135 Mar 20 16:17:48 starbuck ipop3d[1086]: Login failure user=test01 host=somewhere.XXX.net [XXX.48.248.135] Mar 20 16:17:51 starbuck ipop3d[1086]: Command stream end of file while reading line user=mlongley host=somewhere.XXX.net [XXX.48.248.135] Removed the version shipped with 5.9 and tried the one with the last 5.8 beta (imap-4.4-4) and it worked fine.
imap-4.5-2 will not allow any user to log in pop-3 as far as I can tell... Here are /var/log/maillog results: Apr 5 13:41:48 gandalf ipop3d[32647]: port 110 service init from 127.0.0.1 Apr 5 13:41:52 gandalf ipop3d[32647]: Login failure user=dale host=localhost [127.0.0.1] Apr 5 13:41:58 gandalf ipop3d[32647]: Logout user=dale host=localhost [127.0.0.1] Downgrading to imap-4.4-4.i386.rpm seems to work fine though.
Fixed for RH 6.0.
