It seems I incorrectly updated on an etc-update, and now no one is able to collect their email.
Working long to try and trace this problem... I found in /etc/courier/authlib

authmodulelist="authmysql "

Searching for the document originally used to set up, I changed it to:

authmodulelist="authvchkpw"

Which is also incorrect..

I looked in /var/log/messages, but this time it says libauthvchkpw.so not found..

Any advice on where to read up on what the correct authentication method is/was?

Thanks! =)

what does revdev-rebuild -p give You...? Maybe You're in fact missing some files/libraries...

It's a long shot but maybe You used this guide to set it up...:

In /etc/courier/authlib/authdaemonrc I have ...

Code:
authmodulelist="authpam"
authmodulelistorig="authpam"


...and in /etc/courier/authlib/authdaemonrc.dist I have...

Code:
authmodulelist="authpam"
authmodulelistorig="authpam"


Give that a try and see if it works. This configuration works for me.

You'll need to downgrade courier-authlib: newer versions don't support vpopmail.

I figured out the downgrade part from other posts and bugzilla....

Although it IS deeply worrying to me about the security vulnerability of the latest supported version.

I think what I need to find now is a good guide for migrating to something else that works...

hi there,
can you please post all the useful links that you find? i have the same problem and since they also removed <courier-authlib-0.60.6 from the main portage tree i'm not able to downgrade masking in the usual way.

thanks.

Sure! But for the meantime, I don't have anything useful :(

I downgraded and am still on the lookout for the new documents.

Have a great day!
