Package: courier-mta-ssl
Version: 0.47-3
Severity: important

Both stable/testing versions of courier-mta-ssl do not create a
/etc/courier/esmtpd.pem file.  Creating this file and matching the
permissions of imapd.pem or pop3d.pem from courier-imap-ssl or
courier-pop-ssl respectively still results in the log file error of
permission denied while opening esmtpd.pem. This renders all smtp over
ssl unusable and no messages are sent nor is a ssl connection ever
established.

-rw-------    1 root     root         2137 Jan 19 21:27 esmtpd.pem
-rw-------    1 root     root         2137 Jan 19 16:37 imapd.pem
-rw-------    1 root     root         2133 Jan 19 16:37 pop3d.pem

Further investigation shows that the server runs as daemon and not as
root.  No where does it state that this file should be daemon:daemon,
however the config file does say it should not be world readable.

The a quick fix is in fact:

-rw-------    1 daemon   daemon       2137 Jan 19 21:27 esmtpd.pem
-rw-------    1 root     root         2137 Jan 19 16:37 imapd.pem
-rw-------    1 root     root         2133 Jan 19 16:37 pop3d.pem

This bug seems to be a the same (or very similar to) #238814 from March
of 2004. I upgraded courier-mta-ssl to testing for that reason, however
it did not correct the issue.  It also error out on install without a
esmtpd.pem file in place.

I would think that courier-mta-ssl should either autocreate a pem file
with the correct permissions given above or there should be some notification 
on how to set the permissions.
