Package: courier-mta
Version: 0.75.0-18
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Recently I decided to upgrade courier (mta and imap) on one of my mail servers.
It was a disaster. The quality of these packages is abysmal and dangerous. This
is one of the many serious, grave, and critical bugs I ran into during that
process.
It appears that recently a change was made to transition the courier-* system
away from the generic "daemon" user towards the "courier" user. This is good
and probably should have been a done a long time ago.
However, this process is being handled terribly and will almost certainly
result in broken mail systems and possibly (confirmed in my case) data loss.
First, the administrator needs to be made aware of this change. It needs to be
a NEWS item, there should probably be a confirmation dialog prompting the user
for acknowledgment, and it needs to be documented, which it currently is not
short of a tiny changelog line.
In the case of /etc/courier/esmtpd, the MAILUSER and MAILGROUP parameters need
to be checked and the administrator should be VIOLENTLY notified if these need
to get updated. There may be other configuration items which need updating
which I am not aware of. I use only a portion of the courier suite.
Proper file permissions need to be set. in my case, the courier system could
not read any of my .pem files and some other files/directories because they
were set to ownership root:courier but had permissions -rw-------. A chmod g+r
should probably be done against similar files.
A change like this needs to be done carefully and with consideration.
