If you don't have a locals file then courier uses the contents of the "me" 
file (in the etc directory) as the local domain.  If you don't have a me file 
then it will use the fully qualified hostname of that machine.

What is in your me file (or what is your hostname)?  How are users stored?  Is 
the account name in the userdb file "user" or "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"?  If the 
account name is "user" then that's how you log in with mozilla.  If the 
account name is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" then that's how you log in.  In that case 
you need "domain.com" in the hosteddomains file.  

Do you have IMAP or POP3 working?  The smtp authentication login would be 
exactly that same as that.  If that's not working either then you probably 
have a bigger problem.

I use mozilla and it does smtp authentication fine.  Are you sure you've got 
mozilla set up properly?  You enable smtpauth in the settings for the SMTP 
server.

Look for 

/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/modules/esmtp/authend
/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/modules/esmtp/authstart

They're the files installed by the smtpauth rpm.  I would assume that a build 
from source would install them unless you intentionally messed with the 
makefile.
