Thanks Sam Well, NFS IS running on the box, but the courier files are all local in /usr/local/courier including binaries and etc.
Interesting thing is that I have a local postmaster account which seems to work. So there is something different in the account setup which allows one to work and another not to work. Looking for differences now. Only thing I see is that the one that works is in "locals". Both are in : esmtpacceptmailfor.dir/esmtpacceptmailfor hosteddomains and the respective dat files Does this help narrow down the problem at all? Appreciate the help. m/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sam Varshavchik Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2003 6:07 PM To: Courier Users Subject: [courier-users] Re: gdbm fatal: couldn't init cache -- any idea of the source?

The syslog entries prefixed by 'courieresmtpd' in this case really come from couriertcpd, which is the one that opens the smtpaccess file. All standard error from this instance of couriertcpd, and its children, gets logged with the 'courieresmtpd' prefix, since - naturally - couriercpd forks and runs courieresmtpd. $ strings libgdbm.so.2 | grep 'init cache' couldn't init cache This error message actually comes from the bowels of the libgdbm library itself. Something seriously is going wrong in there. After running makesmtpaccess, try running 'esmtpd stop' then 'esmtpd start', to see if that fixes it. There's been one report that updating gdbm files that reside on an NFS volume fails. If you're using NFS, that's it. Move the etc directory to a local disk. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
