My guess is that you might need mydomain.com in esmtpacceptmailfor and a zero-byte '.courier-default' file in the user's mail spool directory (which has to be a maildir directory, with tmp cur and new subdirectories and appropriate permissions) ... at least, that's what got me past where you're stuck, assuming you're trying to do something like what I'm trying to do. Of course today I'm going to be running around taking redundant things out of config files so I can be confident that I have the _minimal_ working config and no stray other stuff that isn't actually doing anything. Why a zero-byte '.courier-default' file isn't equivalent to _no_ .courier* files in the directory is still unclear to me. That is, if I'm pointing mail at that directory and it doesn't find a .courier-default file, why doesn't it just assume I want the mail delivered _there_? ... my first guess is that it's because I have the same home directory and mail directory but there is actually a distinction; once I figure out whether the .courier* files are in the 'home' role or the 'mail' role directory I think it'll start to make more sense. Thus, another project is a thorough reading of the dot-courier manpage which hadn't actually seemed relevant until I realized it was required to make mail delivery work the way I wanted it to. :) Cheers, Tom -- -- Tom Rathborne [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.aceldama.com/~tomr/ Most people can't understand how others can blow their noses differently than they do. -- Turgenev _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
