kindly shut your trap... the page you linked me too doesn't change my opinion of this blocking usage of gentoo.

Could the report please attach exact error, emerge --info and USE flags used as courier-authlib emerges just fine here.
(as AT g/fbsd) the reporter write about "pw useradd mail" not working command. probably he is following some sort of howto/wiki that tell him to create the user/group "mail" for courier; actualy the user/group is automaticaly created by the ebuild itselft: enewuser mail -1 -1 /var/spool/mail so there is not need to manualy create any user/group. p.s.: as AT g/gfbsd i have checked net-libs/courier-authlib-0.59.2 on a clean stage3 g/fbsd and it compile and work correctly (with postfix), so this bugreport most probably it's a bogus.
