I've recently run into problems with courier

You might want to check the permissions in /usr/lib/courier/courier/modules/esmtp
For me they have to be:
-r-xr-x--- 1 mail mail 116704 Dec 11 22:04 courieresmtp
-r-xr-x--- 1 mail mail 46768 Dec 11 22:04 courieresmtpd
I've wasted a lot of time searching that error because it only showed itself with courieresmtp and not courieresmtpd, only after recompiling did the error with courieresmtpd pop up and I was able to trace a solution with:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch/2007-January/013208.html
but I'm wary of setting all binaries in that path to the mentioned permissions.
Hope this helps someone out there.
Yes, at first I was looking for verbose logging to know which file couldn't be accessed by courieresmtp, but I now of course realise it is courieresmtp itself which couldn't be accessed.
Cheers,
