I agree authmysqlrc is mostly commented well. Although, it is somewhat
silent on where (or not) single/double quotes are needed. Unfortunately,
my experience, thusfar, even following the comments is no guarantee of
success. This seems to be the sticking point with all Courier's config
files. The config file parser is very pedantic, which is fine to a point.
The error message "imaplogin: authdaemon: TEMPFAIL - no more modules will
be tried" is terribly unhelpful. Kind of like many Windows' error messages.
You know something is wrong, but where? :-/
The customized query maybe the way to go; although it seems to be a bad
hack to solve the underlaying problem, no? I am missing something?
