I was having the same problem with jessie except that courier-mta never seemed to start. I see
:; sudo systemctl status courier-mta.service -l * courier-mta.service - LSB: Courier SMTP server Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/courier-mta) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2015-07-25 15:19:51 CEST; 5h 8min ago Process: 579 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/courier-mta start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Jul 25 15:19:51 foo courier-mta[579]: chgrp: cannot access ‘/var/run/courier’: No such file or directory Jul 25 15:19:51 foo systemd[1]: courier-mta.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1 Jul 25 15:19:51 foo systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: Courier SMTP server.
