Hey Mark,
Thanks for your response. I believe the problem is very basic. I have
compiled Exim4 from source
and it delivers fine. I have compiled Courier from source with a
straight forward
./configure, make, make install. No issues.

I am using Debian which I think is presenting the problem (for me that
is). I think the Debian libraries
are not where Courier is expecting to find them. So when I compile I
need to set CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS.
The problem is getting this right. To start I want pam, userdb, and ldap
modules. I think setting the
configure options to the library locations will solve this, i.e

--with-db=/usr/lib/libdb-4.so

Hints?

Thanks,
Craig
