I am trying to setup maildrop with mysql authentication for virtual mailboxes. When I run maildrop from command line I get

[vmail@mail2 vmail]$ /usr/local/courier/bin/maildrop -d otheruser maildrop: signal 0x0B

tail -f /var/log/mysqld.log 040918 8:16:56 59 Connect otheruser@localhost on 59 Init DB Access denied for user: 'otheruser@localhost' to database ELF' 59 Quit

Why is maildrop trying to connect to a database named "ELF'"?? Why is it trying to connect as user otheruser?

It appears that maildrop is not reading /usr/local/courier/etc/maildropmysql.config

I compiled maildrop 1.7.0.20040907 as $export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/mysql/include" $export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/mysql/lib" $./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local/courier \ --enable-maildirquota \ --enable-maildropmysql \ --with-mysqlconfig=/usr/local/courier/etc/maildropmysql.config \ --enable-maildrop-uid=1001 \ --enable-maildrop-gid=1001 \ --with-trashquota $make #make install

Below is /usr/local/courier/etc/maildropmysql.config hostname 127.0.0.1 socket /tmp/mysql.sock database postfix dbuser postfix dbpw ******** dbtable mailbox default_uidnumber 1001 default_gidnumber 1001 uid_field username uidnumber_field 1001 gidnumber_field 1001 maildir_field maildir #homedirectory_field homedir quota_field quota #mailstatus_field postfix where_clause AND active = '1'

[root@mail2 root]# ls -al /usr/local/courier/etc/maildropmysql.config -r-------- 1 vmail vmail 348 Sep 16 22:02 /usr/local/courier/etc/maildropmysql.config

TIA,
