cyradm cannot connect to localhost
I have a very strange problem with my Mac OS X Server 10.4.6 mail installation. I can send and receive mail on user accounts, ssl works, and there are no interruptions to the mail service.
I encountered a problem when I tried to use cyradm to delete a mailbox. I edited the files in /etc/imapd.conf to read:
admins: cyrusimap, myname
I try to connect to the mail service on the local machine as follows:
this-is-my-IP:/usr/bin/cyrus/admin root# ./cyradm
cyradm> connect localhost
server: localhost: cannot connect to server
I have scoured google for help but I have found nothing. Also, there seems to be nothing in Apple's support forums about this exact topic. The only odd thing I can think of that might change the configuration would be an MX record in my DNS setup, because I use my mail server as a DNS slave instead of a master. This should not cause problems, but I'm not totally sure.
The authentication to my mail server is CRAM-MD5 only.
If anyone has any idea about what is happening (it seems like the mail daemon is not even getting called by cyradm) please help out. Thanks!
