However, it seems to be doing logging in /var/log/maillog, which is olnly accessible to root. Perhaps I can somehow tell it to use another log file? Anyway, can the failure to start be explained by no access to the log file? And: if you run it as non-root, how do you bind it to port 143? Or do you also use a non-standard port?
