Sam, that is the FreeBSD/NetBSD port flag that tells it to compile and
install the security/courier-authlib port before compiling and
installing mail/mailldrop port.

If I'm right and the OP is using the ports system they need to remove
both ports and cd into the ports directory for courier-authlib first and
run make config to reconfigure the port to include mysql support as
(unless this changed recently) it only includes userdb support if you
tell it install as part of the maildrop install rather than as its own st=
ep.

Once the courier-authlib port is installed, the maildrop port should
then be reinstalled with the WITH_AUTHLIB=3D"yes" option set.
