I'm building courier-0.52.2 on a Trustix linux system: most thing have gone well, but I noticed that the install has set the file ownership to bin and daemon. Now I know I created a new user (courier) and group (courier), but I don't see where to tell the configuration about these.

You shouldn't need to do anything. If the 'courier' user exists, Courier will use it.

Hmm, odd. That doesn't seem to have happend in this case, for some reason.

I built courier 0.47 (my current mail server is running that still) and I'm sure I recall the docs saying something about a configure option for the uid and gid, but I don't see it in the Installation Guide for the current version.

There are configuration options '--with-mailuser=courier --with-mailgroup=courier', but as I said above, you shouldn't need to use them if your username is 'courier'.

I'll try those options and see there is any change Thanks for that...
