You are probably using courier-authlib, and the userid/groupid defined for the "steve" user in whatever authentication module you've configured courier-authlib for does not match the userid/groupid the file is owned by.

Hmm, not sure what you mean. I am using maildrop as the LDA for sendmail. The
users have real accounts on the machine.

What I did was make all LDAP mail users be part of the same group, then make the maildrop.log file owned by that group and group writable.

If you don't have the ability to make them all use the same group, then I'm not sure what to do to solve that. - -- Regards...
