/etc/pam.d/esmtp and /etc/pam.d/webmail have:

auth       required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account    required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session    required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth

This breaks with sys-libs/pam-0.99.7.1, where pam_stack is removed.

These should be:

auth       include      system-auth
account    include      system-auth
session    include      system-auth

Patch.

I can confirm that when upgrading PAM to 0.99.7.1, courier does stop working
due to pam_stack.so no longer being available. Changing the files in /etc/pam.d
according to the patch also fixes the problem (I can now send/receive email
correctly).

A quick google search shows up
http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-dev%40gentoo.org/msg05454.html , which
explains that pam_stack was a non-standard module deprecated in favour of the
"include" control statement introduced in linux-pam-0.78. Both have the
identical result of including the rules from another file in /etc/pam.d.

I've applied it in a revbump of both ~arch and stable, in light of the plans
for stabling Linux-PAM 0.99.
