Are you sure that courier is configured to run as the courier user/group? It may configured to run as something else. Common choices are mail and nobody. To find out which user courier is running as, use the courier-config program. If you discover that courier is running as something other than the courier user/group, you have two choices. You can either fix up the permitions, or you can recompile courier so that it runs as the desired user and group. - --- Joseph C.

All,

since upgrading to courier-0.44.2_1 I receive the following errors: Mar 10 6:34:33 box courierd: Purging /var/spool/courier/msgq Mar 10 6:34:33 box courierd: Purging /var/spool/courier/msgs Mar 10 6:34:33 box courierd: Permission denied Mar 10 6:34:33 box courierd: ABNORMAL TERMINATION, exit status: 1 Mar 10 6:34:33 box courierd: Will restart in 60 seconds. ... etc repeat

This looks like the GID/UID issue that has come up before, but they are the same for me: /etc/group courier:*:1003:courier

/etc/passwd courier:*:1003:1003:Courier Mail System:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin

And this box# ls -l /var/spool/courier total 544 -r-------- 1 courier courier 0 Mar 9 10:54 .noident drwxr-x--- 2 courier courier 512 Mar 9 10:54 allfilters drwxrwx--- 2 courier courier 512 Mar 9 21:01 authdaemon -rw------- 1 root wheel 524288 Mar 9 15:37 couriersslcache drwx------ 2 courier courier 512 Mar 9 10:54 faxtmp drwxr-x--- 2 courier courier 512 Mar 9 10:54 filters drwxr-x--- 2 courier courier 512 Mar 9 10:54 msgq drwxr-x--- 2 courier courier 512 Mar 9 10:54 msgs srwxrwxrwx 1 courier courier 0 Mar 9 13:16 sqwebmail.sock -rw------- 1 courier courier 0 Mar 9 13:16 sqwebmail.sock.lock -rw-r--r-- 1 courier courier 6 Mar 9 13:16 sqwebmail.sock.pid drwxrwx--- 8 courier courier 512 Mar 10 15:32 tmp

What's wrong with this picture and what user/group is courierd expecting if not courier?

Thanks for any help, Caro
