Ok, this appears to be related to Gentoo Linux. In the ebuild there is a sed process which replaces occurences of 'Maildir' with '.maildir' in the source tree. Indeed when I ps ax | grep courier I get things like this: 10427 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/couriertcpd -address=0 - stderrlogger=/usr/sbin/courierlogger -stderrloggername=pop3d-ssl - maxprocs=40 -maxperip=4 -pid=/var/run/courier/pop3d-ssl.pid -nodnslookup -noidentlookup 995 /usr/bin/couriertls -server -tcpd /usr/lib/courier/ courier/courierpop3login /usr/lib/courier/authlib/authdaemon /usr/lib/ courier/courier/courierpop3d .maildir When I manually maildirmake ~/.maildir, pop3 login works. However what I still fail to understand is why all of my attempts at overriding the default maildir location in the courier conf files are fruitless. It seems that courier steadfastly refuses to look anywhere but ~/.maildir. Why? The POP3 error message is also extremely unhelpful, since it gives no indication about what path it is actually looking for which it cannot find (and the lack of any error logged to maillog certainly doesn't help). -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
