I did an upgrade on a server running Ubuntu server Hardy (08.04 LTS, I
believe) to Lucid (10.04 LTS) today and got the above error message in the
logs for all in bound messages and when attempting to send messages.

I did some searching and found the following thread:
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=C232BA212CCA4AC394A94646F7F8141E%40martinmobil&forum_name=courier-users
(hopefully that comes through correctly)

Sam's response about the package being out of whack sent me searching Ubuntu
areas, and I found this bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/courier-authlib/+bug/483170

Apparently, they changed file permissions and/or ownership w/o changing the
startup script (or the other way around).

There are two options for work arounds in that thread: changing the owner of
the directory, or changing the perrmissions.  I chose to change the ownership,
and I was back in business.

This has been happening since Ubuntu 09.10.  I don't know if it's fixed in
10.10, but based on the fact that the bug is unresolved, I would have to say
no.

I just wanted to post this so that other people with the same problem would
have some information on how to fix it.  I tried to add it to the above
thread, but I don't have the permission or information to make that happen.
