Thank you very much for this - it sure is helpful. Did you by any chance have a look at the mail.log messages? Did it generate a "LOGIN FAILED" - especially for the pop3 attempts? But for now, I managed to break my courier installation, and are restarting from scratch. My being new to Debian does not help a lot either. At this stage when I run "apt-get install courier-base" or "apt-get install courier-mta" it somehow fails to configure the mta - a makedat error. Guess I'll have to figure out this one first. Building from scratch also does not work ------------------ snip ----------------------- Setting up courier-mta (0.37.3-2.3) ...
