Courier authdaemon times out after 8 hours?

Q. Courier authdaemon times out after 8 hours when using MySQL 5

A. Try this to avoid the "MySQL server has gone away" problem

vi /usr/local/etc/rc.d/courier-authdaemond

Add "LOGIN mysql-server" to the beginning of the REQUIRE parameters.

Mine looks like this:


 * 1) REQUIRE: LOGIN mysql-server DAEMON mysql ldconfig

... and reboot. Let me know if this works for you.
