If I take the postmaster address out of the equation, and the issue of the aliases directory as well, I'm running into the same problem!
cat ~vmail/domains/fmp.com/foo/.courier | /home/vmail/bin/foo_filter myacco...@fmp.com I send an email to f...@fmp.com. 1) If /home/vmail/bin/foo_filter exits with an exit code of 0, mail is delivered to myacco...@fmp.com, as per the dot-courier man page. 2) If foo_filter returns 99, the message is shown as delivered in the SMTP dialog but not forwarded on to myacco...@fmp.com. This is also as advertised in the dot-courier man page. 3) If foo_filter exits with an exit code of 64, or 100, both of which are supposed to return "undeliverable" to the sending SMTP process, the mail is shown as delivered in the SMTP session, courierlocal records "failure", and the address is disabled going forward. Is this a bug? or am I missing something?
