It was a little more than that. I did follow the INSTALL docs pretty carefully, went pretty smoothly through the testing section of the installation guide, up to the point of running (from courier's sbin)

# ./courier start # ./esmptpd start /bin/bash: line 8: 13665 Killed /opt/mj/courier-0.42.0/sbin/couriertcpd -stderrlogger=/opt/mj/courier-0.42.0/sbin/courierlogger -user=mail -group=mail -access=/etc/courier/smtpaccess.dat -maxprocs=40 -maxperc=5 -maxperip=5 -pid=/var/lib/courier/tmp/esmtpd.pid smtp /opt/mj/courier-0.42.0/sbin/courieresmtpd >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null

I made the mistake of ignoring this when I saw that a "courieresmtp" was in the process table, but a second look makes it obvious that's a different beast. If, instead of the script, I run the couriertcpd command line by hand, I get a listening esmtp server.

So now I'm up to wondering why the script fails, and who's issuing that "Killed" message. But it looks like things are close to working.
