Hi all !

First post here, so thanks for welcoming me !!

I have two questions :

I wish to use maildrop with postgresql. I found two howtos that dealt with mysql and none with postgres.

Mysql howtos state that the config file is /etc/maildrop/maildropmysql.cf, however I could not find any trace of that in the documentation.

Taking this for true, I suppose that the config file for postgres should be : "maildroppgsql.cf".

But is that correct ?

Second question : how can I check whether maildrop is indeed using the DB to authenticate ?

Those HOWTOs are out of date. Current versions of maildrop now use Courier's Authlib.

Are you sure that is the case for the standalone version of maildrop ?

Define "standalone". When talking about maildrop, "standalone" means the version which is distributed seperately from Courier. To have PostgreSQL support, you will need to download and install two packages: maildrop and courier-authlib.

There is very little difference between the Courier and non-Courier varieties of maildrop and, as far as I am aware, they only relate to how maildrop integrates/interacts with Courier.
