I found a reference to a problem where courier-imap was chowning the
~vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp file to root:root
Is that happening?

You can force couriertcpd to run as whatever user you choose.
man couriertcpd for all the options.
But I just edited /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/imapd.rc and
added:
-user=vpopmail \
-group=vchkpw \
to the the "start" case. It works fine, and my open-smtp file
is no longer getting chowned to root.root.

Hope that helped
