/etc/authlib/authmysqlrc is the file to configure mysql settings for courier
I am using LDAP instead of Mysql , but I guess most of the configurations
settings are common for ldap as well as mysql.
vi /etc/postfix/main.cf
local_transport=maildrop
virtual_transport=maildrop
these command will help you to check whether the authentication is happening
properly , plaese paste the o/p
[vm...@ws64-80 ~]$ maildrop -V 4 -d g...@test.com < 1
maildrop: authlib: groupid=1000
maildrop: authlib: userid=1000
maildrop: authlib: logname=g...@test.com, home=/mailslice/gejo,
mail=/mailslice/gejo/Maildir/
maildrop: Changing to /mailslice/gejo
Message start at 0 bytes, envelope sender=g...@test.com
maildrop: Attempting .mailfilter
#please configure authldapmysql and start authdaemon and paste the output
[r...@gejo postfix]# authtest g...@test.com
Authentication succeeded.
Authenticated: g...@test.com (uid 1000, gid 1000)
Home Directory: /mailslice/gp
Maildir: /mailslice/gp/Maildir/
Quota: 204857S
Encrypted Password: (none)
Cleartext Password: (none)
Options: (none)
The other option is to enable debugging for maildrop and enable logging on
/etc/maildroprc
