Hello Everyone,

        Please help!  with error: "550 user unknown"


        I have installed Courier IMAP server using package from: 
courier-0.38.1.20020509.tar.gz:

        Configure and Installation were fine with:

        ./configure
        make
        make check
        make install-strip
        make install-configure

        After modifying /usr/lib/courier/etc/authdaemonrc to have:
                authmodulelist="authmysql" and authmysqlrc for MySQL related settings, 
and 
started daemons:

                /usr/lib/courier/sbin/courier start
                /usr/lib/courier/libexec/authlib/authdaemond start
                /usr/lib/courier/sbin/esmtpd start

         when sending emails to users I got the error: 550 user unknown

        I created database/table as specified in the installation file. However, 
not knowing if there is a command included with the package to create users, 
i manually inserted an entry into the database:

        insert into users (id, crypt, clear, home, name) values(1, 'xxyy', 'xxyy', 
'/web/users/test', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]');

        and created directory /web/users/test and "bin/maildirmake 
/web/users/test/Maildir" to create user test's home directory

        If i shutdown mysql daemon and attempt to send an email to the server, the 
error i get is:  "450 service temporarily unavailable", and when mysql is 
started, and at mysql prompt: show processlist; i do see esmtpd made 
connection mysql successfully.


        Note: I also added entry "myhost.mydomain.com" into hosteddomains and 
locals, followed by issuing the command makehosteddomains inside ~/sbin of 
courier.

Your help is much appreciated!


Kenny
