maildrop itself goes to authdaemond through libcourierauth for its verification and quota routines, but authdaemond has to be configured first. If that works, Courier IMAP ought to work too (after configuration ;)

Authlib *is* working (using mysql) and has been working fine for the past 2 years. If I run authtest valid.user@virtual.domain - it returns successfully.

Ok.

My problem isnt with authlib per say but with maildrop using authlib. When I build maildrop and run maildrop -v , Im expecting a message stating either authlib or mysql support available. I get neither.

Where in the doco does it say that 'maildrop -v' will return that "either authlib or mysql support available"?

1283 [root:tru.leerlingen] /# maildrop -v maildrop 2.0.3 Copyright 1998-2005 Double Precision, Inc. GDBM extensions enabled. Courier Authentication Library extension enabled.

What does yours say? (Bit like getting blood out of a stone, this ...)

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

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 ...

@Tonni:

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.

I do appreciate the help but not the extraneous remarks.

@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 ?
