I tried to install courier from Debian testing too (versioin 0.37.3-1). I ran into trouble with the filter functionality. I haven't filed a bug on the package because I don't really have enough information to say more than "it doesn't work". Maybe I ought to. I ran courier-config on the Debian install and saved the result so I could at least build a close approximation of it in case there were other packages that needed to interface with it, and so that locations of stuff would be generally compliant with Debian policy. Then I nuked the Debian install and built Courier from scratch using the saved configure options. I'm finding that everything works well so far, although I'm still feeling my way as to exactly what functionality I want. Sometimes the old GNU/Unix way (./configure, make, make check, make install) is the best way! I think, although I didn't document it, that the maintainer may have moved some of the files out of their default locations as defined by the configure options, which is a no-no with any system as modular and interdependent as the courier suite is. The Debian maintainer also used the default daemon user as the Courier user. With a little more work he could have created an appropriate courier user and group. BTW, if you do this, and Debian's fascist package management system complains because you don't have a mail-transpart-agent pseudopackage installed, I built a package called stupidmail which installs nothing at all but tweakes the deb database so as to satisfy the dependency and I'll be happy to send it to anyone who wants it. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | if you let it" | available at 512-259-1190 | (The Roadie) | <http://www.fmp.com/pubkeys> http://www.fmp.com | | _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
