Thank you, I guess my main concern was how using rpm -Uvh would deal with all the settings in files in the $sysconfig dir; /etc/courier.

It leaves them where they are at. New config files may be created as /etc/courier/file.rpmnew.

Nope. Not with my RPMs. The existing configuration files are left in place. Any new configuration settings in the upgraded version are added to each configuration file, and obsolete configuration settings are automatically removed.

This is why I 'cp -a /etc/courier /tmp' every time I upgrade. It's much easier to copy those few files back if there is an issue.
