My courier.service didn’t start after a recent update to courier-unicode.

systemd[1]: Starting Courier Daemon...
courier[9751]: /usr/sbin/courier: error while loading shared libraries: libcourier-unicode.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
systemd[1]: courier.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=127/n/a
systemd[1]: courier.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
systemd[1]: Failed to start Courier Daemon.

This needs a pkgrel increase to force a rebuild. Rebuilding helped on my system.

@andrej - my only thought is that you have modified one of the config files maintained by sysconftool in a way it doesn't like. These files all have a line near the top saying "created from <something>.dist by sysconftool". More than that I can't guess, but I have tried to follow the Courier installation process as closely as I can within the constraints of also conforming to Arch packaging guidelines.

@vario Yes, my comments are unhelpful, but so is a configuration broken by an update (with a mail server down and/or insecure). :-)

Point taken, next time I'll try to describe how I fixed my configuration instead of ranting about what exactly got broken.

@andrej - perhaps instead of leaving unhelpful and inaccurate comments which probably have more to do with your peculiar setup you should ask on the courier-users list for help with your problems. I have tried to get this package operating as specified in the Courier install instructions and nothing in the install method has changed since version 0.78. The package is working as expected and to spec.

The latest version is utterly broken, esmtp doesn't work. Prints out unlimited and exits.

EDIT: Oh, alright, that's because it wiped out my configuration. Great. (To the point that the port number was missing on couriertcpd's command line, which is why it failed to start.)

EDIT2: Heck, this is dangerously broken. The automatic configuration update (why does it touch my configuration in the first place?) transfers some options, but silently discards other options. Discarded options:

  • PORT (causes it to fail to start)
  • TLS_CIPHER_LIST (potentially risky if removed)
  • TARPIT (!)

Not good.

requires wget for build

Version 1.0.14 - requires authlib 0.71.0

Version 1.0.12 released. Fail2ban users please note revised error format in logs includes a port number so you'll need to tweak the filter prefregex to include it.

Perhaps you need to raise these issues on the courier-users list. I continue to use courier-mta without problems.

Sadly indeed. I used the full Courier suite, including sqwebmail, with a hosting company for about 20 years. The *buntu deb packages stopped being updated 3 or 4 years ago but that server remained in action up until August of this year when I finally swapped it all out for postfix/dovecot. It was a stellar mail server suite remembered with much fondness. RIP Courier.
