Like when they put authdaemon into its own courier-auth package or something and so on? I have moved on from maildrop, courier-auth and courier-imap to dovecot which comes with everything I need to interface with postfix and without having to go through multiple frameworks like cyrus-sasl and authdaemon. Oh, and dovecot handled Lookout Express better than courier-imap did (this was 3 years ago) _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
