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"?
userA.Additionally, you should not be wasting your time on esmtpd, until you verify the correct configuration of courier-authlib. Before you even install Courier, you should verify that courier-authlib authentication is working, using its tools. See courier-authlib's INSTALL and READMEs.
Only when, using courier-authlib's tools, you have password authentication working, only then you can proceed and install everything else, knowing already that authentication is working.
