Further playing with authtest (since I think it's got to be authdaemon related) shows that:
authtest -s esmtp -m authdaemon sam <password>
Gives a successful result, whilst
authtest -s esmtp -m authpam sam <password>
fails.
Of course. If you read INSTALL (specifically the description of the authdaemon module), you'll find out why.
I assume pam is being used to lookup a user's home directory in order to find where to put mail.
No, it's not.
As long as a mail is sent to one of the accepted domains, will it be forwarded to an account of that user's name, regardless? So mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] both go into the home directory for user 'sam'?
That depends on whether the domain is listed in the locals or the hosteddomains file. See the courier(8) man page.
