I am having trouble getting MailDrop to work with my MySQL/Postfix. The configuration was originally based on Chris Hass great HOWTO http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-sarge/
I have found this page: <http://www.xs4all.nl/~jaspersl/quota/> The author claims his tutorial integrates smoothly with Haas', but his explanation is so 'squeezed' that I can't fully understand the reasons behind some of his directions. He compiles maildrop from source, but uses an old version (1.6.3), this way he can rely on the deprecated mysql support at compile-time. I don't like that much because you are forced to stay away of apt-get and not to upgrade maildrop in the future.
As a side note:
A getting MySQL into the Debian package is pretty straigtforward.
apt-get source maildrop apt-get build-dep maildrop Modify ./debian/rules and add --enable-maildropmysql and --with-mysqlconfig=/etc/maildrop/maildropmysql.config dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b TADA, new .deb with MySQL support.
I just can't figure out how to get the older MailDrop to take defaults, and not read in fields like mailstatus_field, which I don't have :).
So onto courier-authlib...
I have contacted Chris Haas, and he said he's been is in contact with the Courier package maintainers. The "experimental" branch of Debian actually lists a current "maildrop" and "courier-authlib" packages. It's rumored to be very stable already. I haven't tried that, and leave it up to the brave-hearted... :-)
You don't need to be brave-hearted. Install and enjoy courier-maildrop with courier-authlib support from either experimental or:
deb http://debian.linuxia.de/ courier-test main
With regards, your Debian maintainer

Alright, I was already here but could satisfy the experimental build dependencies in my sarge mail-server environment.
apt-get install source courier-authlib apt-get build-dep courier-authlib Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Build-dependencies for courier-authlib could not be satisfied.
Seems I couldn't build the experimental stuff on my sarge box due to some new libraries/dependencies not avail.
Looks like your courier-test source allows me to use the binaries right on Sarge.
So I can use this courier-maildrop with courier-authlib which has convienent hooks into my MySQL Postfix tables.
Sounds easy enough. Will test it out.
Thanks Racke
cheers, iMac
