Hi, I've been trying to set up courier-0.24a for a couple of days now and I think I'm missing something. I've been following the tutorial on http://courier. sourceforge.net/install.html

1. courierfilter cannot start

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/courier start Starting Courier mail server:/usr/lib/courier/var/filters/.lock: Permission denied courierfilter courierd esmtpd pop3d imapd

The permission is # ls -la /usr/lib/courier/var/filters drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Jul 16 18:07 filters

So, I did 'chown courier.courier filters' and restart courier. It works fine. Installer's problem? And is it a correct workaround?

2. couriertls not created

I want to use ESMTP over SSL. So I installed openssl-0.9.5a and put /usr/local/ ssl/bin in my PATH and configure courier and make it.

/usr/lib/courier/etc/esmtpd says: # The following variables configure ESMTP STARTTLS. If OpenSSL is available # during configuration, the couriertls helper gets compiled, and upon # installation a dummy TLS_CERTFILE gets generated. courieresmtpd will # automatically advertise the ESMTP STARTTLS extension if both TLS_CERTFILE # and COURIERTLS exist. [snip] COURIERTLS=/usr/lib/courier/bin/couriertls

But couriertls not compiled.

# grep ssl config.cache ac_cv_lib_ssl_SSL_load_error_strings=${ac_cv_lib_ssl_SSL_load_error_strings='no'} ac_cv_path_OPENSSL=${ac_cv_path_OPENSSL='/usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl'}

# cat tcpd/couriertls.config couriertls=

Please let me know how to tell 'OpenSSL is available' to configure script.

Sorry for taking up your precious time (and bandwidth)
