I have # rpm -q courier-imap courier-imap-1.3.12-1.7.2 What you are saying is that vopmail is a build prerequisite for courier-imap. This makes it very difficult to make a courier-imap binary package (rpm) which would work at sites with or without vpopmail. With vmailmgr, apparently I just have to put a module in /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/. Is there anything like that in the workings for vpopmail? > > You'll have problems reading libvpopmail.a when compiling courier-imap > as a non root user.

Why is it necessary to build vpopmail as root (configure aborts if I am not root)? Thx Mate
