hi, thanks for you fast reply :) output is
india896:/var/run/courier/authdaemon# authtest [email protected] Authentication succeeded. Authenticated: [email protected] (uid 1006, gid 1001) Home Directory: /home/vmail/the-enlightened.de/amras/ Maildir: (none) Quota: (none) Encrypted Password: $1$emkxmsZA$Frit3ozrVbfsaU8pfA0I5. Cleartext Password: (none) Options: (none) uid and gid are correct for my vmail user and the homedir is correct for the amras virtual user (i assume Maildir is "Maildir" per default becaus the tut included no command to set it). The dir "Maildir" resides in /home/vmail/the-enlightened.de/amras/ and is writable by the user vmail.
