last time I've built courier on newer system, I've had the same problem. It seems that many files that have to be owned by mail user were owned by root, bin or so. check permissions of them: # ls -l /usr/lib64/courier/courier/modules/esmtp/ total 244 -r-xr-x--- 1 mail mail 6104 Mar 26 13:15 addcr -r-xr-x--- 1 mail mail 154632 Mar 26 13:15 courieresmtp -r-xr-x--- 1 mail mail 76648 Mar 26 13:15 courieresmtpd This happened with the same version of courier that was already built without problems, only other gentoo packages got upgraded. I guess there's problem with build scripts, but I don't know which - I'll dig later -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
