1. I am using Thunderbird mail client and setup SMTP with authentication. When I send a message it takes quite long for it to go through. The server logs are as follows:

Dec 22 17:13:28 server courieresmtpd: started,ip=[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Dec 22 17:13:29 server courieresmtpd: error,relay=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,msg="535 Authentication failed.",cmd: YWJpZCBlNDU2YTJkYWUwZjNhMzFjNGViMTEyMGMyMTc2ODJlYg==

You've probably enabled an authentication method that you don't support. Maybe CRAM-MD5, without the plain-text password in your userdb? Unless you're going to add the plain-text password, you'll need to turn off the CRAM-* methods, and just use LOGIN.

2. I would like to change to the default logging options. Currently each and every pop login gets written to my maillog file. I would prefer to have this written to a different file. I setup an entry in my syslog.conf:

pop3d.* /var/log/pop3dlog

Yeah, you can't do that. The "facility" field isn't free-form. There's no such thing as a "pop3d" facility. Read the man page for syslogd.

You can probably do what you want if you run syslog-ng, but the configuration is fairly complex.
