RE: [courier-users] courier-mta not starting on gentoo linux

I've made some progress! It seems that the current Gentoo ebuild didn't
create some required directories.

by using:

strings /usr/sbin/courier

I noticed one path that didn't exist /var/lib/courier/tmp so I did:

mkdir /var/lib/courier/tmp
chown mail:mail /var/lib/courier/tmp
/etc/init.d/courier-authlib restart

and this time it didn't complain about a missing file or directory.
But in the logs it showed:

I checked and it did create the /var/lib/courier/msgq directory automaticaly
but not the other one. So I created it.

mkdir /var/lib/courier/msgs
chown mail:mail /var/lib/courier/msgs

and it started clean :-)

I can even send email to the outside world :-)
But not to myself yet :-( I must have screwed up something with the local
delivery but it's getting close... :-)
