Hi Gejo Paul,
Thank you for your reply. I do have the courier authmysqlrc file set up
however it is located at /etc/courier/ not /etc/authlib/. In my opinion this
file is set up properly since otherwise squirrelmail would not be working.
However just in case I created the /etc/authlib/ directory and copied
authmysqlrc there. Unfortunately still no good results :(
Enterting the command maildrop -V 4 -d sysad...@mydomain.com < 1 return
the following:
base 1: No such file or directory.
Enter the command maildrop -v returns the following:
maildrop 2.0.4 Copyright 1998-2005 Double Precision, Inc
GDBM/DB extensions enabled
Maildir quota extensions enabled
<License text>
Enter the command authtest sysad...@mydomain.com return the following:
Authentication FAILED: Operation not permitted
Also from where do I turn logging on? I do not have the file
/etc/maildroprc!
Regards,
Sim085
