I'm successfully using Postfix with the Courier IMAP daemon.

I've read that and IIRC, PAM was part of the default install but access
via the passwd file (authpwd?) was not.  I've tried editing pam.conf but
no luck.  I don't really understand how PAM works but from what I've
read, it's just supposed to work if the right entries are in pam.conf?
I guess I need to learn more about PAM.  Any suggestions?

Thanks for your response.
