Follow the instructions in courier-authlib's and courier's INSTALL files,
and these options will be set correctly for you.
Many thanks Sam for getting back to me on this. I'd never have considered
configuring courier-authlib until I had a build of courier itself.
I now have the authlib configured, the daemon running, and it tests ok using
the tests in the authlib install file.
I've done a clean, configure and build against this new config, and I'm
still getting the same error. From reading the authlib docs regarding userid
and groupid, I can see that my configuration of a courier user and courier
group are going to meet these conditions. I'm running the output of
configure to a textfile and catching the stdout errors on my terminal, and
the only thing that looks out of place in the configure process is:
Cannot obtain information for groupid 1000: No such file or directory
This appears twice. I'm
specifying --with-mailuser=courier --with-mailgroup=courier as part of the
configure, and the group for courier is defined in /etc/group as
courier:x:1000:courier
What part of "do not specify the --with-mailuser and --with-mailgroup
options" you do not understand?
Forget that these two options exist, for Courier. Wipe them from your
memory.
