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 > Are you using courier or courier-imap?
