Do you have an /etc/maildroprc? If so, what's in it? (grep '^[^#]' /etc/maildroprc)

Well?

Also if I run maildrop -d valid.user@virtual.domain - the message "Invalid user specified" is returned.

Well, that goes without saying ... we need Brian Candler here, but he's not a maildrop aficionado ...

As per a previous post :

maildrop -v gives me:

GDBM extensions enabled. This program is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. See COPYING for additional information.

And I didnt mean for you to take "'maildrop -v' will return that either authlib or mysql support available" as it literally returns that sentence - I was paraphrasing - what I ment was that 'maildrop -v' should return some mention of authlib but it doesnt.

That was for maildrop 1.8.0, dude. Or: what are you running now, and what does it say?

I do appreciate the help but not the extraneous remarks.

You get what you merit - and that's not much, at the moment.

@Sam Thanks for the help - im searching for a courier-authlib-devel rpm as we speak - doesnt seem to exist for FC3 but Ill keep looking. Im guessing that maybe I have a bit of a dodgy install of imap and authlib and so leaning towards pulling the most up-to-date tars of imap and authlib and rebuilding both. What files do I need to backup in order to keep my current configuration ?

If you build Courier authlib from source using 'rpmbuild -ta' and install the resulting rpms, they will keep your current config files in /etc/authlib as *.bak. If in doubt, *backup your current files first*.

If you build maildrop 2.0.3 (that's latest stable) FROM SOURCE, as is, using 'rpmbuild -ta' on a Red Hat Recent or Fedora Recent it will give you a valid rpm, which you can then install. Whatever you find anywhere else is possibly inferior.

Your main problem is, you don't listen.

Why I exhorted Brian is, that he's an exceedingly patient person who even suffers f. g. (me, for example).
