There is no other syslog message than the ones i posted in my initial email (SASLAUTHd which says that the authentication was successfull and IMSP which says "user does not have an account on this server). The user does have an option file. The IMSPd option file looks like imsp.sasl.allowplaintext N + common.date R + common.delivery.hosts N <hostname> common.domain N <domain> imsp.admin.all N <username> imsp.admin.bboards N <username> imsp.create.new.users N + imsp.create.policy N parent imsp.log.level N 2 imsp.proxy.authlevel N 1 imsp.proxy.authtype N PLAINTEXT As alerady mentioned this is exactly the same setup i used for years on the old server. Also the complete IMSP directory structure was copied from the old to the new server. Only IMSPd was compiled again due to a pathname that changed. On the old server IMSP was installed in /sys/cyrus/imsp/ and now it is installed in /opt/cyrus/imsp/. # pwd /opt/cyrus/imsp # ls -al total 16 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 May 29 09:07 . drwxr-x--- 5 cyrus mail 4096 Jun 1 19:59 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 29 09:05 bin drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 26 2005 var # ls -al bin/ total 84 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 29 09:05 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 May 29 09:07 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 70320 May 29 09:05 imspd # ls -al var/ total 16 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 26 2005 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 May 29 09:07 .. -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jan 26 2005 abooks -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 322 Jan 26 2005 options drwx------ 4 root root 4096 Aug 25 2006 user # ls -al var/user/ total 16 drwx------ 4 root root 4096 Aug 25 2006 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 26 2005 .. drwx------ 2 root root 4096 May 28 23:25 <user1> drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Nov 5 2007 <user2> # lsa var/user/<user2> total 28 drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Nov 5 2007 . drwx------ 4 root root 4096 Aug 25 2006 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11465 Nov 5 2007 abook.<user2> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Aug 7 2006 abooks -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Nov 5 2007 options # cat var/user/<user2>/options imsp.user.quota.usage R 5188 --On June 1, 2008 1:49:23 PM -0400 Wesley Craig <wes@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > --On Donnerstag, 29.
