I'm going to look into it and set up a test account and get back, but my preliminary tests indicate that the gid in the authentication db is being ignored, although the delivery directory is being honored. I have
DEFAULTDELIVERY="| /usr/bin/maildrop" set in /etc/courier/courierd, so it may be a maildrop issue. Gotta run out for a while, but I'll get back with something more definitive later. I'm not sure where I can find the version information, but I believe I'm running courier-0.42.2. It's been a while since I've rebuilt it, and I have a number of versions in my source directory.
