Subject:[courier-users] Permission Denied with Courier's Sendmail?Actions...

I recently updated a 0.49 install of Courier-MTA to 0.50.1 along with Courier-Authlib to 0.56. I did my usual configure options ("--prefix=/usr/local/courier --with-mailuser=courier --with-mailgroup=courier --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs --enable-unicode --enable-utf7-folder-encoding --without-authldap --without-authmysql --without-authpgsql"), did a make, make install, then make install-configure.

I ran into two problems:

1. Mailman's complaining about expecting the mail wrapper script to be executed as group "courier", but it's "mail" instead. As you can see from the configure script above, I sent the mailgroup to courier. How do I check this further?

2. I cannot execute courier's sendmail as a non-root user:

$ /usr/local/courier/bin/sendmail sendmail: ERR: Permission denied 432 Service temporarily unavailable.

Yet, the permissions are the same as the previous install's sendmail:

-r-s--x--x 1 root courier 141928 Jul 19 07:52 /usr/local/courier/bin/sendmail

This is on a fully-updated Fedora Core 2 system, BTW.

Any idea what either of these problems could be or how I could track down the source of the error?

Thanks, pete
