well, / is mounted with "defaults", and this is how I have the authdaemon socket directory:
drwxrwx--- 2 daemon apache 4.0K Apr 25 02:06 /var/spool/courier/authdaemon/
I had to give apache group ownership so I could connect via horde to change user passwords.
Let me make sure I understood you clearly:
You've modified the ownership and permissions of one of the internal Courier directories, and you have no idea why a bunch of things stopped working?
Do you actually believe that the ownership and permissions of the hundreds of files installed by "make install" are completely random in nature, and you can change them to anything, and things will still continue to work?
However, if I change this back to the daemon group, I no longer get the 450 error, and can connect with sendmail and type a message into stdin. But when I hit the EOF, I get:
432 Mail filters temporarily unavailable. sendmail: Unable to submit message.
Well, then, my guess would be that there are other directories or files whose permissions you've also modified, but for some reason you also think it's not relevant.
