Thanks, I did not know that. I used the above commands, reran makeuserdb, restarted authdaemond, and courierd and esmtpd but to no avail. I also edited authdaemondrc to only allow authuserdb, which indeed got me rid of the mysql erros, but still, my email client keeps getting authentication errors. What is the login I should indicate to the email client? "userA" or "smtp/userA"?
