Sorry for the late post but I wanted to check the software myself before announcing the updates and let you update your systems. Sam Varshavchik has been busy in April and created fixes and small updates for most of the Courier software stack. The ones that concern us are:
Courier-Auth was updated to 0.59.3
- Minor fixes in several man pages — workaround for some minor issues with Docbook XML stylesheets
- Added support for CRAM authentication in the vchkpw module
- Fix a memory leak when authpipe module is enabled, but the actual authpipe script/external prog is not installed
- Fix several other pedantic leaks flagged by a static code analysis tool, that occur only after courier-authlib already runs out of memory
Courier-IMAP was updated to 4.1.3
- Fix several pedantic memory leaks flagged by a static code analysis tool, that occur only after the server already runs out of memory
- Updated man pages to Docbook XML 4.4
- Fix parsing of raw 8bit headers
Courier Maildrop was updated to 2.0.4
- Updated manual pages to Docbook XML V4.4
- Include the make dat script (the man page is already here)
Updating should be easy, just follow the install instructions as usual.

Installed the updates according to the instructions on switch.richard5.net
After that I couldn’t send mail using Entourage anymore as there was a SASL authentication failure.
Found the reason on diymacserver.com: chmod o+x /usr/local/var/spool/authdaemon

I’ve put that line on so many update posts on Courier that I thought it wouldn’t be necessary anymore. I was wrong, sorry for that…
