On the command line the only thing I see is :
root@messagerie[10.10.10.20] ~ # testsaslauthd -u a.chaouche@xxx -p xxx -f /var/run/saslauthd/mux -s smtp
0: NO "authentication failed"
root@messagerie[10.10.10.20] ~ #
Adding the realm didn't change anything
root@messagerie[10.10.10.20] ~ # testsaslauthd -u a.chaouche@domain.tld -p xxx -f /var/run/saslauthd/mux -r domain.tld -s smtp
0: NO "authentication failed"

saslauthd was started with -a rimap -O localhost, connecting to courier's own authdameon.

I made sure the mux file existed and was in the right location. It's also chmoded in 777 (didn't change that)

Any help appreciated to configure cyrus's saslauthd to use courier's imap server for authentication.
