hello,

i can't get my virtual domain working with courier.

let's say 'domain.com' is in the 'me' file, and 'hosteddomain.com' is the virtual domain i would like to set up, with all the mail going to the user 'jo@domain.com', such that 'webm@hosteddomain.com' can be handled by whatever .courier-webmaster in joe's home directory specifies.

that's what i did:

- added webm@hosteddomain.com to the userdb (the values of uid, gid and home the same as for the user joe) - added @hosteddomain.com: joe to the list of aliases

If @hosteddomain.com: joe is in the alias file, webm@hosteddomain.com gets rewritten as joe-webmaster, so the userdb entry is unnecessary.

interestingly, when changing the user's name from 'webm@hosteddomain.com' to 'webmaster', mail to webm@hosteddomain.com is delivered to the user joe, but the .courier-webmaster file in joe's home is ignored.

Verify that joe's home directory, as defined in your account database, is what you think it is.
