[EMAIL PROTECTED] is a regular account, no different than anything you'll find in the passwd file. The only thing that's unique to it is that its .courier files run some program that handles incoming mail. couriermlm is no different than any other program one might invoke from a .courier file. Therefore, as any ordinary program running under the userid/groupid assigned to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] account, it is highly unlikely that it will be able to do much with files or directories that are owned by some other userid/groupid. -- Sam _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
