Hello, i'm still trying to configure the postfix + courier-imap (pop3d) + mysql and my configurations do not work.... Now, i have put the strace software to debug the daemons (pop3login and authmysql). When i login by telnet in port 110 (from other host or from localhost), the pop3login daemon is started, and i follow it. The pop3login receives the "user" and the "password", and after some strange messages about "Resource temporarily unavailable", it call the authdaemon (write to the authdameon's socket), and exits. I have some window with strance in my authdaemon, that appears the "username" and the "password" that i did pass, so the pop3login did his jog. :) here is the fragment (initial) from strace to authdaemond.mysql: ... select(9, [5 8], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [8]) accept(8, {sin_family=AF_UNIX, path=@}, [16]) = 4 fcntl(4, F_SETFL, O_RDONLY) = 0 select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, {10, 0}) = 1 (in [4]) read(4, "AUTH 27\npop3\nlogin\ngisele\nbundch"..., 1024) = 36 open("/etc/authmysqlrc", O_RDONLY) = 6 fstat(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0640, st_size=5850, ...}) = 0 break(0x8059000) = 0

But the final of the debug is the problem... the daemon look for my dns server (i did install one named in my FreeBSD machine to fix this, but do not work), but do not look for mysql in no moment! I have in my resolv.conf the address to my dns server, but as i don't know what to do, i did configure one dns server ( that is working) in my FreeBSD box... But why the look for the DNS??? and why the daemon do not try access the mysql tables??? What the daemon is trying to resolv????

Here is the rest of the log that i did. Thanks!!!! ***** after some read in /etc/authysqlrc and some other files********** ... open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY) = 9 fstat(9, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=121, ...}) = 0 read(9, "# 127.0.0.1\t\tlocalhost.mydomain "..., 512) = 121 read(9, "", 512) = 0 close(9) = 0 issetugid(0x28143664) = 0 issetugid(0x28143664) = 0 kqueue(0x28143664) = 9 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 10 connect(10, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0 .1")}}, 16) = 0 sendto(10, "\230$\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\nlocalhost\t\10mydomain"..., 37, 0, NULL, 0) = 37 gettimeofday({1025019004, 226851}, NULL) = 0 kevent(0x9, 0xbfbfe16c, 0x1, 0xbfbfe16c, 0x1, 0xbfbfe150) = 1 recvfrom(10, "\230$\205\203\0\1\0\0\0\1\0\0\nlocalhost\t\10mydomain"..., 1024, 0 , {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}}, [1 6]) = 92 close(10) = 0 close(9) = 0 kqueue(0x28143664) = 9 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 10 connect(10, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0 .1")}}, 16) = 0 sendto(10, "\230%\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\nlocalhost\t\0\0\1\0\1", 28, 0, NULL, 0) = 28 gettimeofday({1025019004, 228184}, NULL) = 0 kevent(0x9, 0xbfbfe16c, 0x1, 0xbfbfe16c, 0x1, 0xbfbfe150) = 1 recvfrom(10, "\230%\201\202\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\nlocalhost\t\0\0\1\0\1", 1024, 0, {s in_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}}, [16]) = 28 close(10) = 0 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 10 sendto(10, "\230%\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\nlocalhost\t\0\0\1\0\1", 28, 0, {sin_famil y=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("10.124.67.8")}}, 16) = 28 gettimeofday({1025019004, 229060}, NULL) = 0 kevent(0x9, 0xbfbfe16c, 0x1, 0xbfbfe16c, 0x1, 0xbfbfe150) = 1 recvfrom(10, "\230%\201\202\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\nlocalhost\t\0\0\1\0\1", 1024, 0, {s in_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("10.124.67.8")}}, [16] ) = 28 close(10) = 0 close(9) = 0 shutdown(6, 2 /* send and receive */) = 0 close(6) = 0 close(4) = 0 close(4) = 0 select(9, [5 8], NULL, NULL, NULL <unfinished ...>

With my dns server (real) in /etc/resolv.conf i get the same problem! Tries to resolv (access) one DNS server... and no access to my mysql server.

Thanks
