we have installed Courier on Fedora Core 3

We have mailt.comp.vjti.ac.in as MAIL SERVER

We created virtual mailboxs in vmail as # userdb "ash@mailt.comp.vjti.ac.in" set home=/home/vmail mail=/home/vmail/ashish uid=501 gid=501

# userdbpw | userdb "ash@mailt.comp.vjti.ac.in" set systempw ... but when we try to send mail to ash@mailt.comp.vjti.ac.in as rcptto:<ash@mailt.comp.vjti.ac.in> 550 User unknown.

Are you definitely using courier MTA? What do you see as the SMTP banner if you type

# telnet mailt.comp.vjti.ac.in 25

?

I have tried this here, but that name does not exist in the DNS:

$ nslookup -q=any mailt.comp.vjti.ac.in. Server: x.x.x.x Address: x.x.x.x#53

** server can't find mailt.comp.vjti.ac.in: NXDOMAIN

So I can only guess that you have a local DNS server with some information in it for this domain, which is hidden from the rest of the world.

Otherwise, if you're sure it's courier-mta you're talking to (and not sendmail, for example), then you would be better taking this query to the courier-users mailing list. This list is just for the sqwebmail component.
