There may be more problems than I thought. I just noticed that this is repeating over and over in the logs: Dec 14 13:29:20 bnofdn1 courierd: Started ./courieruucp, pid=32337, maxdels=4, maxhost=4, maxrcpt=16 Dec 14 13:29:20 bnofdn1 courierd: Started ./courierlocal, pid=32338, maxdels=10, maxhost=4, maxrcpt=1 Dec 14 13:29:20 bnofdn1 courierd: Started ./courierfax, pid=32339, maxdels=1, maxhost=1, maxrcpt=1 Dec 14 13:29:20 bnofdn1 courierd: Started ./courieresmtp, pid=32340, maxdels=40, maxhost=4, maxrcpt=100 Dec 14 13:29:20 bnofdn1 courierd: Started ./courierdsn, pid=32341, maxdels=4, maxhost=1, maxrcpt=1 Dec 14 13:29:20 bnofdn1 courierd: queuelo=200, queuehi=400 Dec 14 13:29:20 bnofdn1 courierd: Purging /var/spool/courier/msgq Dec 14 13:29:20 bnofdn1 courierd: Purging /var/spool/courier/msgs Dec 14 13:29:20 bnofdn1 courierd: Permission denied Dec 14 13:29:20 bnofdn1 courierd: ABNORMAL TERMINATION, exit status: 1 Dec 14 13:29:20 bnofdn1 courierd: Will restart in 60 seconds. Same deal. /var/spool/courier/msgq (and msgs) has the proper permissions and ownership. Maybe something got screwed up during the build. Unless someone else can come up with another option, I may remove Courier completely, rebuild the RPMS, and reinstall.
