sorry, I meant to say that x and y are the uid/gid respectively of the user courierusers.

I did a 'telnet localhost 25' and got:

Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

Which is very strange. It's almost like the service isn't running. I did a ps -ef to verify everything is running and it appears they are running.

Any ideas? (thanks for the help)

running perftest1 I get a bunch of 505 user unknown errors in

505 ??? read them again and start with one single mail. Use either courier's sendmail or `telnet localhost 25`.

/var/log/maillog. I tried using submit as follows:

/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/submit -vrfy=couriertest@localhost local 'dns; helo-fqhn (host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)'

^^^ typo. Just forget about submit.

and I get the same results.

I verified that /usr/lib/courier/etc/locals has localhost in it and did another makealiases along with restarting courier and authdaemond just in case and I still get the same thing

I'm trying to use MySQL for authentication and for the user in question I have the following in the database table: id='couriertest' crypt='foo' uid = x gid = y home= /home/courierusers maildir= couriertest

You should not mess around with ./Maildir until you fully understand the consequences. x and y wont work, they have to be numeric and match an existent entry in /etc/passwd and also match the owner of the maildir.

Any hints on troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated.

Run authtest and look again in your maillog and mysql-log. Everything is there, but if you hide or munge the information with typos nobody will be able to help.
