FreeBSD 4.3 Release,i386 , stock kernel
Bind 9.1.3
Courier 0.35-1
no ipv6 address.
Courier name resolving does not work unless it's compiled without ipv6
support. I believe the problem to be either the FreeBSD ipv6 Stack being
active or (most likely) Bind 9.1.3, or a combination thereof. I expect to
do more experiments during the week to try to isolate the problem.
I dont use 'INET6' in the kernel, and after replacing Bind 8.x
with dnscache some months ago troubles with the resolver stopped.
Other than that courier works great. (Now learning to configure maildrop
filters for authmysql based virtual users, any advise?)
Nothing special, just follow the documentation and the source :)
I set HOME=/full/path/into/maildir; MAILDIR=./ and simply drop
everything into the same directory for the 'cheap' virtual users
with only one catchall-mailbox.
Be careful: cachall-forwarding via SQWebmail/Mailfiter will cause
a classical loop if the destination is not valid, just like any
other poorly written receipe. This gets worse if the recipient-
domain dont exist: a few thousend bounces/sec sent locally from
courier-dsn could take the whole server down because there is no
built in limitation (except the cpu).
This needs some changes in the SQWebmail/Mailfilter-generator.
a) catchall-forwarded mail should keep the original envelope-sender
b) mail sent from <> (or anything from courier-dsn) should not be
blindly forwarded again into the loop.
c) courier-dsn should keep the original headers in the reply just
like other automated responders, and also use some delay.
d) add selection for 'Catch-All-Forwarding' in the mailfilters-form,
the condition (size>0) works but is too difficult for most users.
Also check out the mysql-percenthack from Alessandro Vesely:

BTW, while i have problems with most imap server <-> clients, i have not
found something speccialy wrong with courier-imap (it even works with old
Netscape clients if compiled with
--enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs). Is there something i have missed
This is the most basic option for configure, and my other favourite:
--disable-root-check
