Understood. Where my server's differences came in to play is when I migrated to a new server a year or two ago. I recreated the user accounts manually (matching UID/GID values), and the migrated the home directories. During the process of recreating the users, I did some cleaning up for the login groups (I login as staff now instead of wheel, and instead I just put myself in wheel in /etc/groups etc.), and I left the home directories in their previous groups. Understanding that this was is not optimal, since the Courier upgrade exposed it, I've gone through and made everything match. The main reason for my post was to help others who might've run into this (there are a few hits on the list and other groups), and also to report the difference in how Courier 4.3.0 reacts to this configration (it worked with 4.2.0 and previous).
