Re: /usr/local/bin/maildrop: Temporary authentication failure.

Hi,

This is my configuration.

/etc/postfix/master.cf
======================
flags=Ru user=vmail argv=/usr/local/bin/maildrop -d
$

/etc/passwd
===========
vmail:1001
:1001::/home/vmail:/bin/bash

Do I need to do anything else.

Regards

Yes.  Read the note at the beginning of maildrop's INSTALL
file, and follow 
the instructions.

1: If your problem is with maildrop (and it is, and not with
Courier 
IMAP) you need to subscribe to the Courier maildrop list and
not this one;

2: Before asking *any* question on that list, you need to
have read 
*all* of the documentation for Courier maildrop (yes, each
and every 
man, README, INSTALL, .html, *everything*) and tried out
*everything* 
(yes, everything) they contain;

3: You need to do the same as 2: for Courier authlib;

4: Only when you've done 2: and 3: and either you don't
understand a 
point in the documentation (which is very possible) or even
then it 
still doesn't work should you post to the list, detailing
what you've 
done and what doesn't work.

Best,
