Other than permissions I cannot think of anything. Have you tried creating the file and giving ownership to root? (same as all the other pid-files). Or just try - to eliminate it - to set 'chmod 777 /var/spool/courier/tmp' and see if it works. Could be that on your other server all processes are run inder mailuser, but not here. // Fredrik ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
