I deleted the .courier-default, and copied a working one from another domain on another server. This did not help. I also checked the permissions on the file. The file has the following permissions: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 2 13:57 .courier-default Again, this is an exact duplicate of the working server. I also checked the home directory's permissions, which are: drwx------ 3 mailuser mailuser 4096 Mar 2 09:14 alias Which, again, are exactly the same as the server it's working on. Just for grins, I used chmod to modify it to be: drwxr-xr-x 3 mailuser mailuser 4096 Mar 2 09:14 alias But still no dice. On some website somewhere (can't remember where, sorry) I read that I also needed a .courier file, so I created that as well, but the symptoms are still the same. > > This is stored in /var/quica/domains/lists.gomillion.org/alias > > When I send email to the account, the following message pops up in > the logs: > > Mar 1 11:10:37 com1 courieresmtpd: > error,relay=::ffff:192.168.1.235,from=<deleted>,to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED] > .gomillion .org>: 550 User unknown. > > I get the message from the email server: > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > lists.gomillion.org [192.168.1.225]: >>>> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > <<< 550 User unknown. > > So, I thought that the alias account must have a problem, so > I sent an email directly to it, which was received and > delivered, as expected. > > From the error messages, it would appear that Courier is not > using the [EMAIL PROTECTED] account at all.

Why is the newer server not doing this correctly? > What did I miss? I wish to broaden my question a little bit. Is there a better way to create a catch-all address? I have read about global .courier-default files, but as this server will have multiple domains, it seems like it would be difficult to have it all defined in the one file. Am I thinking about this in the wrong way? How do others implement catch-all addresses? > Thanks, > David Gomillion ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
