Hello all,

I have switched my Linode from Ubuntu Natty, in which multiple things were
just mysteriously breaking, to Arch Linux. I have copied my courier-mta
configuration from the Ubuntu set-up in and made the adjustments that
seemed obvious. There is one that is not obvious.

I'm getting a permission denied error for courieresmtpd in
/var/log/mail.log. There is no other information supplied. Here's a snippet:

I have no clue what courieresmtpd is trying to access that yields this
error. I don't even know what to look for. I even tried piping the binary
through the strings command to see if I could find some file or device or
pipe reference--I didn't see anything recognizable.

Also, am I hard bouncing (permanent failure) or soft bouncing (deferral)
incoming mail as a result of this? Unfortunately, my primary email is down.
I'm using it as a from address in gmail to bypass moderation. Please reply
also to [email protected]

Thanks!
