The problem isn't mail sent to valid addresses, it's mail sent to
non-existant ones. Normally they would be rejected by esmtpd, but when
you have a .courier-default alias they are accepted. ...

I suppose you have a couple of options. You could add some logic to your
courier-default file to check for a valid address in the new syntax and drop
the message if it's not valid. ...


Well, what I'm suggesting isn't as elegant, but it's simple. Create a .courier-default, and have it do what you want. In my case, my .courier-default looks at the extension (say, -courier), and tries to find an IMAP folder that contains that name, so all messages to my dash-extensions addresses automatically get written to the appropriate folder, nice and neatly sorted. (Dang, now I've blown my cover!)

Then, if one of the dash-extensions goes bad, (say, user-bigcorp), create a .courier-bigcorp which just... does nothing. The purists will argue that you should generate a dsn (bouncesaying), but if you've only ever used that addess with bigcorp; just update the address in bigcorp's records (or stop doing business with them!). This system works because the more specific .courier file always takes precedence, so the -default file won't even be consulted in this case.

best,
Jeff
