You must be new here :-)
Courier >=0.36.1 will forward the invalid message to the recipient as
an attachement with an explanation of what went wrong.
You can disable the explanation by changing a few lines of the source
code. Some people do this; others prefer leaving the explanation in.
Whether or not this should be a configuration option, rather than
requiring a change to the source code, has been hotly debated. You
might want to search out the archives of this list for the past
couple months before voicing an opinion... ;)

Should be. A standard installation should not have put any configuration
files outside etc.

You can get a lot of information by going into the source directory as a
regular user and typing 'make -n install' and 'make -n install-configure'.
That will simulate running the commands without actually doing anything.
An more flexible and comprehensive way is to save your compile output.
Something like
configure | tee courier-0.36.1.log
make | tee -a courier-0.36.1.log
make install | tee -a courier-0.36.1.log
make install-configure | tee -a courier-0.36.1.log
will keep a log of everything that happened when you built Courier.
This can be invaluable in solving build problems, and good to keep
around as reference (like, it would be useful to you right now).

> install-configure?
Good question. I apparently forgot to 'tee' the last step the last
time I built this... ;)
