Hey,
I'm trying to install courier-authlib but after installation it says
"error: command failed to execute correctly".
It looks like it's installed but I also have issues trying to start
authdaemond (chown: invalid user: 'courier:courier').
For any reason, it's expecting to have the courier user created and it's
not. In the archwiki for postfix says nothing about creating that user.
Regards.
Any idea how to solve this?
I'd appreciate your help!
Matt.

It might be installed or not
pacman -Qi courier-authlib

As the former maintainer for the courier chain I highly recommend you
use dovecot instead. It is much easier and breaks much less.

Do you know any guide to configure postfix with dovecot?
Thanks for the advise. I'll do some research about it.

Why not just use the guide I wrote:
