|No, error in this case will be 'auth http server 127.0.0.1:8080 sent

|Probably, you have changed mailauth.pm and have not reconfigure nginx:

	It seems to be using the modified version. It's copied to perl/lib 
under nginx home, and I restarted the master. Whatelse should be done?
	Can you send (or point) me a basic working authorization script?

thank you,
