Hi,
  I believe the default setup for Courier should contain a valid authentication module 
in the authmodelist file.  On my system the file contains...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] courier]# cat authmodulelist 
authdaemon

Then to tell Courier how you want to authenticate users, you select the appropriate 
sub module in authdaemonrc.
Not sure of correct terminology. :) sub module.

##NAME: authmodulelist:0
#
authmodulelist="authmysql authpam"

Then if you use authmysql make sure that the authmysqlrc file is corectly setup to 
access the database of your choice for storing the user names.

Hope this helps,  Also please inform me of incorrect information.
I am still learning.  thanks

alan
