Hello List Sorry about the long post. I am trying hard to get to understand my /var/log/maillog when connecting to cyrus-imapd. When I open Evolution and connect /var/log/maillog says: Oct 24 21:52:33 dell2600 imaps[15186]: starttls: SSLv3 with cipher DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA (256/256 bits new) no authentication Oct 24 21:52:33 dell2600 imaps[15186]: login: testbox.mydomain.com [192.168.0.8] me@xxxxxxxxxxxx DIGEST-MD5+TLS User logged in SESSIONID=<dell2600.bradcan.homelinux.com-15186-1382647953-1> What does the first log entry above "no authentication" mean? Imediatly followed by User logged in!
