To: gentoo-user,
I have followed http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml#doc_chap3
till chapter 3. But when I get to code listing 3.3 i.e.:
# /etc/init.d/courier-imapd start
# /etc/init.d/courier-imapd-ssl start
# /etc/init.d/courier-pop3d start
# /etc/init.d/courier-pop3d-ssl start
the daemons all fail to start. There are no error messages of any kind.
Nothing written to dmesg and I don't have a clue about how to figure out a
reason for this. I also don't have a clue about what info might be relevant
so please ask for it.
Postfix does work like a charm and the certificates has been successfully
created. Only the imap and pop3 daemons won't start.
# /etc/init.d/courier-imapd start
* Starting courier-authlib: authdaemond ... [ ok ]
* Starting courier-imapd ... [ !! ]
# /etc/init.d/courier-pop3d start
* Starting courier-pop3d ... [ !! ]

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?

This script does start it up successfully. Still the initscript doesn't. I
have tested that all the variables are set to the same things in the
initscript simply by printing them with echo and they are.
/usr/lib/courier-imap/courier-imapd.indirect doesn't exist btw...
I trying to use version 4.0.1
# eix courier -I -c
[I] net-libs/courier-authlib (0.58): courier authentication library
[I] net-mail/courier-imap (4.0.1): An IMAP daemon designed specifically for
maildirs

I am using:
jim@keelie$ eix -I -c courier
[I] net-libs/courier-authlib (0.58): courier authentication library
[I] net-mail/courier-imap (4.0.4): An IMAP daemon designed specifically
for maildirs
jim@keelie$ equery belongs /usr/lib/courier-imap/courier-imapd.indirect
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib/courier-imap/courier-imapd.indirect in
*... ]
net-mail/courier-imap-4.0.4
(/usr/lib/courier-imap/courier-imapd.indirect)
Maybe try the newer version with the newer ebuild or just make your own
startup script?
