Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: courier-authlib
Summary:
The directory /var/run/courier/authdaemon had permission 750. In order
to get courier-mta to work, I had to change it to 755.
Details:
I am running a mail server with imap and smtp, both served by courier.
Configuring imap was fairly straightforward. Configuring smtp (with
courier-mta) gave me a headache. The following simple test failed:
r...@pluto:/etc/courier# echo "To: mich...@localhost" | sendmail
ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied
450-Service temporarily unavailable.
450 Headers specify no receipients.
sendmail: Unable to submit message.
This was strange for two reasons: First, I didn't expect sendmail to
communicate with authdaemon, and second, authdaemon worked just fine for
imap.
it took me a long time to find out that not all processes had access to
the authdaemon socket. The socket itself had proper permissions:
r...@pluto:/var/run/courier/authdaemon# ls -l
srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2009-11-15 17:55 socket
...
... but the folder containing it didn't:
r...@pluto:/var/run/courier# ls -l
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 100 2009-11-15 17:55 authdaemon
...
A chmod to 755 of the containing directory did the trick. I am not sure
whether this is the best solution (vs. changing ownership of the
folder).
