Okay... here we go: /etc/courier/authdaemonrc ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- authmodulelist="authmysql authpam" authmodulelistorig="authcustom authcram authuserdb authldap authpgsql authmysql authpam" daemons=5 version="" authdaemonvar=/var/run/courier/authdaemon /etc/courier/authmysqlrc ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- MYSQL_SERVER 127.0.0.1 MYSQL_USERNAME postfix MYSQL_PASSWORD passwort MYSQL_DATABASE postfix MYSQL_USER_TABLE mailbox MYSQL_UID_FIELD uid MYSQL_GID_FIELD gid MYSQL_HOME_FIELD home MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD username MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD maildir MYSQL_NAME_FIELD name MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD password MYSQL_OPT 0 Since I have setup authdaemon on a different server in the past where this setup worked, I don't see the problem... cheers Jens
