But both should be required for any of the courier stuff to work, right? Maybe the package description for authlib should indicate that authdaemon is what people should install (authlib being installed as a dependency). > courier-maildrop depends on courier-authdaemon through courier-base. > > maildrop is a separate package and isn't maintained by me. The package description for courier-maildrop indicates: "This package is intended for use along with sqwebmail. Otherwise, use the standalone maildrop package." I only want Maildrop as a LDA for Dovecot So I should contact Josip Rodin? Is he on this list?
