Courier only requires expect if you want to change your password via
webmail.  Personally, I don't care for Courier's webmail program
(sqwebmail), I prefer Squirrelmail.  I only use sqwebmail to edit my
maildrop rules.

Shoot, I know I had a note around somewhere about this, but I can't seem to
find it.  Try copying c_rehash.in to /usr/bin/c_rehash, I think that did it
for me.

I've got 0.36.0 working in production, but there's some things about my
install I didn't care for.  I've fixed them and have 0.37.3 compiling and
installing, and I expect to test it this weekend.  Installing is still a
somewhat manual process, though.

Once you've checked it out, you can change to /usr/ports and do cvs up.
