I've been trying to get maildrop to use mysql for user account without any luck. I always seem to get Invalid user specified. When I compiled maildrop I used these options:

./configure --prefix=/usr --without-db --enable-maildropmysql --with-mysqlconfig=/etc/maildrop/maildropmysql.config --with-etcdir=/etc/maildrop

my maildropmysql.conf file looks like this:

hostname localhost port 3306 socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock database maildb dbuser mail dbpw ***** dbtable users #timeout 5 default_uidnumber 1000 default_gidnumber 1000 uid_field id uidnumber_field uid gidnumber_field gid maildir_field maildir homedirectory_field home #quota_field quota mailstatus_field imapok #where_clause ""

both courier-imap and postfix are pulling from the same MySQL database without any problems. Strace I can see some (Resource temporarily unavailable) messages but I'm not very good at reading strace output yet.

System specs:

RH 7.3 MySQL rpms (from mysql.com) courier-imap 1.5.3 (built rpm) maildrop 1.4.0 (built from tar.gz) postfix 1.1.11 (built from postfix.org srpm)

Any ideas?
