I gave up and reinstalled courier from scratch... Perhaps I should have done that from the start.

Thanks for all your help.

I did install it as default and everything appers to be in /usr/lib/courier, however there is no spool directory. I tried finding the directory via "locate spool | grep courier" with no luck.

If you installed it as default, it is possible that you should be looking in /usr/lib/courier/spool instead of /var/spool/courier.

I have never done a make upgrade, as I build my RPMs. Since switching to RPMs, all of the files go "where you'd expect them", or configuration files are in /etc/courier, binaries in /usr/bin, spool files in /var/spool/courier, and so on.

search for the msgq and check from there <msgq>/../tmp/ at least thats how mine is organized (from debs)

By the way, how is the weather in Utah? I've been missing it ever since I graduated from the Y...

The weather is great right now. Upper 80's during the day, cool at night. Perfect for doing anything outdoors.

I have been using courier for about a year now and have been very satisfied with it. I wanted to use MYSQL for authentication but found that the MYSQL module was not installed originaly. I got the latest version of courier and recompiled it with MYSQL enabled then ran "make upgrade" Everything seemed to be OK but courier wouldn't start. Here is a section of my log file..

you must have changed the user you compiled courier as, make sure its the same user (uid/gid) as the first time you installed

I'm pretty sure that I compiled courier as the same user.

The funny thing is that I did this last Friday and I could send/recieve mail up until this morning at about 10:00... I don't know what changed. I did read another posting that said a lock file had the wrong permisions on it in /var/spool/courier/tmp I tried looking there but that directory doesn't exist. Do you know which config file that tmp directory is specified?

I ran courier-config and it is running as daemon:courier

If anyone has any ideas please let me know... This is a fairly critical email server and I've spent far too long trying to figure this out.

Thanks Todd Humphries
