I cannot reproduce the problems: I can send/receive mails using SSL (STARTTLS) as expected. There is no problem with authdaemon.

Another customer encoutered identical issue. After investation, it seem that there is restrictions on some vm such as openvz under which some mount operations are prohibited, such as marking / as shared. Thus, because this was the first mount operation, all others were ignored, including mount of /var/run/courier/authdaemon to /var/spool/postfix/private/authdaemon

The question here is: Do you use a vm?

This fix will be part of next release.

Thank you for your report.

Hi! Yes, vServer XL 5.0 (webtropia.com). I'm note sure what kind of technology they use, it might be Virtuozzo. I could ask them if you want.

In the meantime I moved 2 vserver to another hoster with openvz 7 and switched to dovecot. The main system ist still on 1.3.16 and postfix and courier

After upgrading to 1.4.6 "courier authdeamon: no such file or directory"
