[TriLUG] Postfix plus Cyrus IMAP

[Joseph Tate]

I'm trying to set up postfix plus Cyrus IMAP, but am running into some 
snags.

My setup:
Dell PowerEdge Server with dual ethernet and dual processor (933 PIII 
Zeons), 1gb memory, three  18 GB SCSI drives.  Two configured as 
software raid (mirrored).  Runs RH 7.3.

My steps so far:
I installed postfix from the 7.3 RPM.  Then rebuilt the RPM from source 
enabling SASL support--I wanted authenticated SMTP against an sasldb.
I picked up the powertools 7.1 RPM of cyrus-imapd, then spent some time 
updating it to the last 2.0 release of imapd (2.0.16).  Got that to 
build and install.  Set up to authenticate using sasldb.

What works:
SMTP (non-authenticated, no SSLed)
Checking mail with IMAP, IMAPS, POP3, POP3s.

What doesn't work
SMTP AUTH and SSL:
    Transcript from a telnet port 25 session:
        Escape character is '^]'.
        EHLO dev.mi-messages.com
        220 mail2.mi-corporation.com ESMTP Postfix
        250-mail2.mi-corporation.com
        250-PIPELINING
        250-SIZE 10240000
        250-VRFY
        250-ETRN
        250-XVERP
        250 8BITMIME
        AUTH LOGIN
        503 Error: authentication not enabled
Creating folders under IMAP/IMAPS
MD5_CRAM (SPA) authentication using IMAP/POP3

Before I beat my head into a bloody pulp on this configuration 
nightmare, does anyone have any suggestions.  Am I wasting my time 
trying to use RPMS?

P.S.  I'd eventaully have some kind of web based administration tool to 
add users/change passwords, etc.  Any ideas?  I suppose I could write a 
plugin for webmin.
