Hi Ricardo,
No worries, it took me a while of screwing around to determine the
idiosyncrasies of configuration required to make it work consistently.

I'm not sure why you're getting mail delivered to the account's homedir;
that seems a bit odd. Here is an excerpt from my personal courier setup
notes:
How courier routes inbound mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
===============================================
If an explicit account [EMAIL PROTECTED] exists in the mysql table then its
delivery instruction will be used, regardless of any corresponding
.courier-FOO file.
Else, it tries to lookup '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' where alias is the literal
string 'alias' and DOMAIN is the recipient domain.
If it fails, delivery fails. If it succeeds, it searches for delivery
instructions in this order (first non-empty):
1. .courier-FOO in specified homedir
2. .courier-default in specified homeidr
3. delivery instruction in 'defaultdelivery' column of mysql table for
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
4. system-wide default delivery (~/Maildir) if all above are blank.

I doubt it; as far as I understand, the maildir field is ONLY relevant to
the POP3/IMAP/webmail daemons. In other words, when the account is
logged into, that's where mail is looked for to be delivered outbound,
but not inbound.
