Thats right, it compiles but it doesnt authenticate anybody. At least it 
didnt work about 3-4 months ago and I had to install x32 binaries of 
courier-authlib-vchkpw and other libraries(mysql etc.) only to get it 
working in 32-bit compatibility mode.

Minor changes to 5.4.12, which was released two months ago.
The most significant change is to compile libvpopmail with the -fPIC
option,
which supposedly corrects a problem when trying to compile courier-imap
with vpopmail support on the AMD64 platform.
------------------

I see that ports have 5.4.10 version...

Although I remember putting -fPIC to make.conf and re-compiling vpopmail 
and courier-imap-authlib etc. but it didnt help if I remember correctly.
The programs were compiling but nothing was working properly.

Are you using courier-authlib-vchkpw on amd64? Is there anybody who uses 
it can say that it works? I am a bit reluctant to test it on a 
production server. If anybody can remotely tip me that it works then I 
would be willing to try it on a weekend.

Google also returns interesting search results

If courier-authlib-vchkpw doesnt work properly on amd64, which is 
probably not a problem related to FreeBSD but I think the port should be 
blacklisted on amd64 with an explanation of the problem so people wont 
try to install it and fail all the time.
