Courier-IMAP - Postfix - MySQL 4

[Thomas Dwyer]

Has anyone had problems getting courier-imap with mysql authentication working with mySQL 4.

I noticed when courier-imap installed from the ports it installed mysql-client-3.23; even though MyQL 4.1 was already installed and working fine.

I am also running postfix and it has problems connecting to the MySQL database as well.

The logfiles indicate somthing like  "the client is using a protocol unsupported by the server".

Is this something related to the now obsolete mysql_connect being replaced by mysql_real_connect?

If anyone knows of a port patch for this, please advise?  This server is purely for an IMAP mail server for several thousand users, so using MySQL 3.23 instead of 4.1 is not a problem if that is the only fix at this time.

Thanks
Tom
