Michael,
Did you find the answers to your question? I'm looking for a similar topic?
You could probably get tcpserver to work in place of couriertcpd, since
their capabilities are similar. However, tcpserver will not be able to keep
your server from being attacked by rogue IMAP clients who decide to open
several hundred simultaneous logins to the same mail account.
Courier's authentication modules work completely differently than qmail's
checkpassword, and you can't simply drop in one for another. You'll have to
surgically remove the custom authentication logic from checkpassword, and
insert it into authcustom, and get it to work.

Okay, now that we're authenticating using authshadow, we'd like
to *try* to get fancy.
1) Given my (better) knowledge of tcpserver and multilog products
to accept connects and log, can they be used instead of couriertcpd
and logger calls? If so, anyone have a sample used to start things
up?
2) we have a locally hacked version of checkpassword (the one
often used with qmail) and would like to use it to authenticate
users. Can this be done? If so, would it be an authcustom?
With qmail we include it in the tcpserver startup line. Can that
be done if "yes" is the answer to #1?
Thanks,
