Thanks Sam and Gordon, I'm actually helping the guy putting some 0.75 *buntu packages together, up from 0.73, and I could not find any reference to what the -access= arg should be for IMAP. It's only when I did a "which makeimapaccess" after Gordons message that the penny dropped. No doubt it works the same as smtpaccess. Could be handy. The stock imapd configuration file references IMAPACCESSFILE, and so does the startup script. If installed from source, everything should be working correctly. The missing piece is the need to run the sysconftool script when installing an updated package. When this change landed, this would've correctly added the IMAPACCESSFILE setting into the existing config file. pgpnF6TFRthRo.pgp Description: PGP signature -- ___ courier-users mailing list courier-users@lists.sourceforge.net Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users

It seems to me that most of the problems that Debian and Ubuntu users have with Courier are packaging bugs. I think it'd be easier to help them if the package maintainer provided Courier with minimal or no changes, and addressed any issues that they have with the scripts upstream (here). -- ___ courier-users mailing list courier-users@lists.sourceforge.net Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users

It will probably break working installations, and I tend to think that sort of thing drives users away. If the maintainer is intent on this, you'll need to include a post-install script that fixes the uid and gid of everything that the various pieces of courier have created, including files in /etc/courier, /usr/lib/courier, and /var/spool/courier, or whatever layout is used on Debian. And for what it's worth, the rpm packages use "daemon" unless there's a courier user present in the build environment. If you use mock (and you should), that means that "daemon" is the standard user. -- ___ courier-users mailing list courier-users@lists.sourceforge.net Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users

These new 0.75 deb packages for "wily" (15.10) are proving ornery because the packager has changed uid:gid from the previous "daemon" user that Debian has used for a decade to the more common "courier" user (in line with Archlinux and maybe RH/Centos). IMAP is working okay but I'm seeing strange behavior with esmtpd. I'll announce the packages here when they pass muster. -- ___ courier-users mailing list courier-users@lists.sourceforge.net Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
