Did not compile from source, used Debian packages. Installed
courier-debug which gives me courierauthtest. Here is problem:

Temporary authentication failure from module authdaemon
Authentication FAILED!

/etc/courier/authdaemonrc is using by default:
   authmodulelist="authpam"

It appears that I need to be able to create login and password somewhere
for courier to work.
