First try to complete the courier-authlib part then it will be easy for you to resolve maildrop. the command to test the same is #authtest <mysql username> Try to resolve this first. Don't bother about maildroprc and .mailfilter , these files are used for mail filtering ,it works like procmail #dpkg --listfiles courier- package |grep authldaprc will list the files in a package from these you can easily locate the files. Otherway to find the location of a file is #find / -name authldaprc #find / -name maildroprc if you want I can sent a sample maildroprc file , the same is available on squirrelmail spamrule plugin, http://www.squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=190.
