The only log file left by mysql is the the file /var/db/mysql/myhostname.err
. and this file has practically nothing.

Like i said, authpam works very well. its authmysql which is the culprit. I
have seen the logs in /var/log/maillog nothing there. Here is a sample of my
/var/log/maillog.

Jul 24 10:05:18 email pop3d: LOGIN, user=arvind, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Jul 24 10:05:28 email pop3d: LOGOUT, user=arvind, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1],
top=0, retr=0

^----------- The above happend when i use PAM and successfully login.

Jul 24 10:26:02 email pop3d: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Jul 24 10:26:12 email pop3d: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Jul 24 10:26:16 email pop3d: Disconnected, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Jul 24 10:30:12 email pop3d: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Jul 24 10:30:22 email pop3d: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Jul 24 10:49:34 email pop3d: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Jul 24 10:49:44 email pop3d: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Jul 24 10:49:46 email pop3d: Disconnected, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]

This happens when i disable authpam and enable only authmysql. Not even a
username is accepted. My guess is that, all failed logins are logged this
way by courier-imap.

i have courier-imap 1.6. :-( but this is what the port collection
downloaded. Even mysql is a  4.x gamma version.
portupgrade -Rr does nothing to upgrade my installed stuff.
