My courier email server crashed last week so I rebuilt the whole thing from 
scratch using RedHat 5.3. The install was kept to as little extra as 
possible. 

I installed the lastest courier and courier-authlib packages by downloading 
the tarballs and running rpmbuild -ta against them. I created a non-root 
user called "install" just for this purpose. The rpmbuild process ran fine 
and I installed the rpms and user=root. 

It seems to have worked pretty well but I am seeing some problems I have 
not been able to figure out. 

1. Every time I click on or off the "Enable mail filtering and 
autoresponders" option in WebAdmin, authentication suddenly stops working. 
The problem is the file /etc/authlib/authdaemonrc gets overwritten as a 
zero byte file. Quickly copying in a new, proper file and restarting the 
services gets everything flowing again. This happens every time I switch 
this setting. 

2. With mail filtering enabled, I can not seem to be able to save a new 
filter in the Webmail interface. If I try to create a new rule and click 
"Save all changes" I get the message that "The following filters have been 
saved" but nothing shows up in the list of filter rules. The new rules just 
seem to disappear into the bit bucket. 

It has been a couple years since I have done a full install of Courier but 
the process went smoothly and I did not see any errors. Email is flowing 
well and I can connect, etc. 

What have I buggered up here?
