Jeff, Thanks for the note.

re: authuserdb Yes. With my current qmail-vpopmail system I use vpopmail's authentication. That's fine, and I think I understand it since I have it working with qmail-pop3 and sqwebmail. I want to get rid of qmail and tcpserver, so I'm building a new server that is "pure" courier mta.

I'm not clear what goes into the "aliases" and ".courier" files. Vpopmail has something that apparently relies on the qmail virtualhosts file, which just has entries like

laudeman.com:laudeman.com

and the .qmail-default for each virtual domain (/home/vpopmail/domains/laudeman.com) says

| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox

I'm just unclear on the magic that makes virtual mailboxes work with Courier.

Thanks, Tom.

You want to use a different auth module, like authuserdb or authmysql, to store and access your account data.

See http://www.courier-mta.org/install.html#authlib
