I've got Courier 0.42.2 built & installed but I can't seem to do
something that seems relatively simple in concept.
Our home directories are served over NFS from a NetApp Filer box.
I want the mail server to be self-contained - I don't want everyone's
Maildir to be in $HOME/Maildir.
Instead, I have a local partition, "/var/maildirs", on an Arena RAID unit
that I'd rather use. I'd like to create "/var/maildirs/$USER/Maildir"
and use "maildirmake" to create Maildirs under those directories.
I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do this. It smells a
bit like using "userdb" (not all our NIS "passwd" map entries use the
mail server, so I don't have a problem using a separate database) and
virtual domains, except that I have no need/use for virtual domains.
(I don't use "Qmail", either - planning on using Courier's ESMTP daemon,
although I don't understand why it's so slow to respond to connections ...)
As a test I've changed "DEFAULTDELIVERY" in "etc/courierd" to use "maildrop"
(i.e., "| /opt/courier/bin/maildrop") and I created "etc/maildroprc" with
the single line "DEFAULT=/var/maildirs/$USER/" in it. (I want to use
"maildrop" because I eventually want to tie delivery into SpamAssassin, if
I can get things to work as-is)
I then tried a test message:
echo "To: earle" | /opt/courier/bin/sendmail
This results in the following log messages:

I can't clamp a "truss" (this is on Solaris 8, btw) onto "maildrop" because
it's a setuid program running as a non-"root" user - so I can't tell where
"maildrop" is trying to create the dot-lock, or why it's failing.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or if I should be implementing
this setup a different way than I'm trying to do?
Thanks in advance,
- Greg
