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:

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.
