Andrew,

Im using Courier, Courier-MTA-0.44.0 which I specify in the mail earlier.
It is okay by default right? So where should I copy the authdaemon.passwd
to? The erros shwon seems like it reading the wrong directory is it? But I
check the authdaemon.passwd in the error directory, the file is there.

Im using plain userdb for authentication.

I apply the authtest, as follows:
# ./authtest USER PASSWD
Authenticated: module authdaemon
Home directory: /home/mail
UID/GID: 501/502
Maildir: /home/mail/USER
AUTHADDR=USER
AUTHFULLNAME=<none>

# ./authtest USER PASSWD NEWPASSWD
Authentication FAILED!

Any idea? Thanks.


Regards,
Allien
