Hi

I have created a user and a group both called courier with courier as the primary group for user courier.

Following the install instructions has not gotten me very far. I have successfully built and installed the i386 binary RPM packages. I eventually discovered how to build some of the .dat files and can now at least get past the Service Temporarily Unavailable message. I tried the suggested tricks such as putting "| /usr/bin/id >ID" and "| /usr/bin/env >ENV" in .courier and the files weren't even created.

After analyzing the logs I discovered their is some kind of loop.

Shouldn't there be instructions on how to configure the installed software?

The man pages are somewhat helpfull but incomplete.

The init program is missing a fairly common piece, here is a patch to use : ---------SNIP---------- --- /etc/rc.d/init.d/courier Wed Oct 11 15:07:49 2000 +++ /etc/rc.d/init.d/courier.new Wed Oct 11 13:10:52 2000 @@ -150,5 +150,8 @@ $0 stop $0 start ;; + *) + echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}" + exit 1 esac exit 0 ---------SNIP----------

I am not trying to be nasty, I just want to get the software working so I can determine it's feasabiliy for filtering spam.
