Now it seems it installed with Courier Authentication Library extension enabled! I think before the command I used to install maildrop was 'apt-get install courier-maildrop' :( When I run the command 'maildrop -V 4 sysadmin < /dev/null' I still recieve the error "Unable to open filter file, errno=2". However the problem I think is that maildrop cannot access the database. I think this because when I try to send email with telnet, in mail.info I get the following line about maildrop; "(user unknown. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied Invalid user specified. )". I did some research and found this website: http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=courier-maildrop&a=2007-06&t=4461364. Here the person asking the question was told to pass the command 'chown <user>:daemon /var/run/courier/authdaemon/'. I did this and the error in mail.info changed to become '(user unknown. Command output: Invalid user specified. ) ... I am doing progress right!? :) _________________________________________________________________ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.
