I have just installed courier_0.42.2(the complete package) with mysql support(tried both mysql_3.23.5/MySQL-4.0.14-0) for authentication, my configuration is listed as follows:
./configure \
--with-authmysql=yes \
--without-authchangepwdir \
--with-mysql-libs=/usr/mysql/lib/mysql \
--without-IPv6 \
--without-SSL \
--enable-dependency-tracking \
--with-mysql-includes=/usr/mysql/include/mysql


After installation, I configured whatever necessary for using mysql as authentication module--
1. authmodulelist: authdaemon authmysql
2. authdaemonrc: authmodulelist="authmysql" version="authdaemond.mysql"
3. authmysqlrc: configuration for mysql connection(I am sure all correct)
4. Create table in mysql database(format is correct)


Then I started courier as follows:
   ./libexec/authlib/authdaemond start
   ./sbin/courier start
   ./sbin/pop3d start


Couier-pop3 actually started, and authdaemon.mysql started by authdaemond


Finally, I use "telnet localhost 110" to test a user account, it returns me--
etc]$ telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Hello there.
user test
+OK Password required.
pass test
-ERR Login failed.


The more strange thing is that when I check the status of file "authmysqlrc", it seems never read by courier when a user tried to log in by telnet.......I have struggled on this problem for one whole week and hasn't got the answer. Does anyone know what's the step missing in my installation and configuration? I've re-install by romving older installation compelely for many times, but never works. Anyone's suggestion will be appreciated!
