I have it up and running with no issues.  Maybe try to go through the
HOWTO again?  What I usually do is look at the startup script and try
to make a test script to get it running.  Here is an example for
starting courier-imap.  Just copy it to a file and try to execute it as
root:


#!/bin/bash

ADDRESS=0
MAXDAEMONS=10
MAXPERIP=10
PIDFILE=/var/run/imapd.pid
TCPDOPTS="-nodnslookup -noidentlookup"
PORT=143
MAILDIR=.maildir
exec_prefix=/usr

/usr/lib/courier-imap/couriertcpd -address=$ADDRESS \
	-stderrlogger=/usr/lib/courier-imap/courierlogger \
	-stderrloggername=imapd \
	-maxprocs=$MAXDAEMONS -maxperip=$MAXPERIP \
	-pid=$PIDFILE $TCPDOPTS \
	$PORT ${exec_prefix}/sbin/imaplogin \
	/usr/lib/courier-imap/courier-imapd.indirect ${MAILDIR}

I'm a geek, but I don't get it. 36-24-36 = -24. What's the significance?
