... The result was that mail for jo@two.com got delivered to pete and mail for pe@one.com got delivered to john.

Isn't that what you wanted? What's the problem?

No, that's not what I want. I want the domain to take precedence, so that *all* mail for one.com goes to user john, including mail for pe@one.com and ji@one.com. What happened is that the username took precedence, so that mail for pete@anydomain goes to pete. As result, no domain can use any account name which exists as a system user.

Then dont put one.com, two.com and anydomain into etc/locals.

Look at "VIRTUAL DOMAINS" in 'man makealiases'. Create .courier-<address> files in the users' home directories to control delivery of the virtual addresses.

What I need - I don't know if it's possible - is delivery of *any* @domain mail to a certain user, including mail for invented addresses. The .courier-<address> system can only handle addresses that have been pre-configured by the user, but does not provide a catch-all for typo'ed addresses and the like.

Read dot-courier(8) again, and create the .courier-default.
