Question can't telnet into courier service

I installed courier-0.64.2.20100320 onto a CentOS 5.4 instance on an AWS cloud instance with these configuration options:

Code:
./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/courier/ --without-ipv6 --with-db=gdbm --with-shellpath=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin --with-ispell=/usr/bin/ispell --enable-imageurl=/var/www/html/webmail --enable-https=auto --enable-hardtimeout=7200  --disable-autorenamesent --with-calendarpurge=60 --with-cacheowner
Everything seems to install ok and `make && make install && make install-configure` goes smoothly.

Then I seem able to start the service

Code:
 
[root@cloud1 ~]  service courierd start &
 
[1] 18626
Courier shows up in /var/log/mail.log

Code:

The local firewall (shorewall) is turned off, yet I cannot telnet into the courierd service

Code:
[root@cloud1 init.d]# telnet cloud1 10024
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
The ps command also reveals that courierd is running:

Code:
[root@cloud1 init.d]# ps -ef | grep courierd

Also I cannot seem to find the courier service with netstat:

My /etc/courier/authdaemonrc file simply says this:


Code:
authmodulelist="authmysql"
DEBUG_LOGIN=2
These are the contents of /etc/courier/authmysqlrc

Code:
MYSQL_SERVER cloud1
MYSQL_USERNAME mail
MYSQL_PASSWORD ******
MYSQL_PORT 0
MYSQL_OPT 0
MYSQL_DATABASE maildb
MYSQL_USER_TABLE users
MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD crypt
# MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD clear
MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD concat(home,'/',maildir)
MYSQL_WHERE_CLAUSE enabled=1
I am attempting to use the 'flurdy' postfix tutorial.

So in short, what is puzzling me at the moment is why I am unable to telnet into the courier service.

Also, in a related note the only 'courier related services' I find in /etc/init.d are the following:

Code:
[root@cloud1 init.d]# ls -l *courier*
-r-xr-x--- 1 root root 2379324 Apr 12 14:45 courierd
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root  111712 Apr 12 14:46 courierpop3d
I don't see a courier-imap service even tho the install of courier-0.64.2.20100320 seemed to go just fine. This last part is kind of a side-issue.

Any tips to help me get this working will be appreciated.

In my experience your ps looks pretty wrong, there is something up with your courier setup and it's not listening on any ports (per netstat -an) so its not surprising its not connectible. Doesnt look like its finishing initialization.

Thumbs down started courierd -- no win
hello,

I've managed to start courierd by locating the daemon at

Code:
/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/courierd
and copying it to /etc/init.d/ and issuing the command
Code:
service courierd start
Now my ps output looks a little more reasonable. ;-)

Code:
[root@cloud1 courier]# pwd
/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier
[root@cloud1 courier]# ps -ef | grep courier

However, I get the same result:

Code:
[root@cloud1 courier]# telnet cloud1 10024
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
