[i'm new to the list, apologies in advance for any glaring stupidities]

i'm trying to get courier-imap and courier-pop3 running on a client's OpenBSD 3.3 system. version is 1.7.1 from the OpenBSD packages system.

the plan is to use authpwd, but i'm having trouble understanding how the usernames and passwords map to /etc/password and /etc/master.password

i'm handling a virtual domain; the present setup is like this (i'm not wedded to doing it this way, it just seemed fairly straightforward):

email address

fr...@example.com

maps to user

fred-example.com

with home directory

/home/example.com/fred

and with the mail going into

/home/example.com/fred/maildir

what i'm seeing in /var/log/maillog is as follows:

May 22 07:55:55 mail pop3d: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[172.16.0.182], command=USER May 22 07:55:55 mail pop3d: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[172.16.0.182], command=PASS May 22 07:55:55 mail pop3d: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[172.16.0.182], username=fred-example.com May 22 07:55:55 mail pop3d: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[172.16.0.182], password=Foo123

i'm sure i'm missing something obvious, but i have yet to find any clear documentation on how authpwd makes its decisions.

thanks in advance, richard
