Package: courier-base
Severity: normal
Version: 0.47-4sarge4
Tags: upstream

/etc/courier/{pop3d,imap}{,-ssl} all provide MAILDIRPATH as
a setting. However, this setting is not honoured; instead, the
setting in /etc/default/courier is used and passed to the daemons
from the init.d scripts.

Since courier now seems to support changing this setting, the
/etc/default/courier way (which is Debian-custom) can be dropped.

Anyhow, I was just experimenting a bit and found out that
MAILDIRPATH is actually not honoured by the daemons, which still
expect the maildir path as first argument. So this should be fixed
upstream I suppose.
