I am not using a locals file at all. All mail users are virtual, through userdb.

If you don't have a locals file then courier uses the contents of the "me" file (in the etc directory) as the local domain. If you don't have a me file then it will use the fully qualified hostname of that machine.

What is in your me file (or what is your hostname)? How are users stored? Is the account name in the userdb file "user" or "us@domain.com"? If the account name is "user" then that's how you log in with mozilla. If the account name is "us@domain.com" then that's how you log in. In that case you need "domain.com" in the hosteddomains file.

Do you have IMAP or POP3 working? The smtp authentication login would be exactly that same as that. If that's not working either then you probably have a bigger problem.

I use mozilla and it does smtp authentication fine. Are you sure you've got mozilla set up properly? You enable smtpauth in the settings for the SMTP server.

I installed from the tar file, but wondered if smtp-auth is a separate patch, or if I missed something in the configuration of the install. Is there a way to tell if the smtp-auth module is missing, either in the binaries or in an install log?

Look for

/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/modules/esmtp/authend /usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/modules/esmtp/authstart

They're the files installed by the smtpauth rpm. I would assume that a build from source would install them unless you intentionally messed with the makefile.
