trying to sort something else out I chowned /var to a
user ( intendgin to chown it back......)
since then new mail has disappeared, old mail
reapperaed & nothing is delivered.
In /var/lib/courier/tmp are a load of directores
104681,2,....90
each containing a load of files Cxxxxx/Dxxxx
lengths of each vary
the longest (in 104681)
is 2795 lines the usual headers then a list of
A10469


over 2000 times

I assume this is the control file logging attmepts to
deliver..

How do I get out of this mess??

It's going to be easier to rm -rf everything, and reinstall Courier, rather than spend the month figuring out what's the right permission for every directory and file.
