You were right, at least to an extent. I assumed I could build the
package on one system, then use it on another the way I can with most
other packages. (You're supposed to be able to) Well, this one hard
codes uids and such (Courier needs that obviously). That isn't really a
problem, except that it does this at build time using the UID/GID setup
on your build system. Since those didn't match the vps I was trying to
use Courier on, you can guess what happened. I had to strace courierd to
find it, but find it I did when I saw that hard linking was failing. I
checked, and it was using the absolute wrong account for queue ownership
and the like. Oops.

Sam,
First thank you for your help.
I figured out part of the problem. courierd wasn't starting. There
was a single file the script wanted that I didn't have. I put it in
place and courierd at least started.
Now I'm having a problem with "no such file or directory", and the
logs report "abnormal program termination". The program restarts
every minute, but I'm sure you guessed as much. I figured out via
searching (one of your posts actually) that this indicates
corruption. I uninstalled, removed the local state directory, then
reinstalled. It works fine, right up to the point that I try to send
the first message. Then it starts doing that again. I'm at a loss.
Currently I'm trying building from source rather than using the
package, but if you have more insight into why it might be doing that
it would help. At least then I could submit a fixed package for other
users.
Sounds like a bad package.
Unfortunately, the number of ways to screw up any software install is
not bounded.
