Do I put my virtual domains into hosteddomains or do I depend on aliases for
delivery to these domain addresses (fo...@bar.com, of which bar.com is in our
DNS).
It depends on how you want to set up virtual domains.
If you want to redirect mail for the entire domain to a single system
account, use aliases, and the account holder will be able to individually
manage his own domain, and create his own mail accounts in the domain.
If you only have a few mailboxes in the domain, put it in hosteddomains,
then use some database-based authentication back-end to map individual
addresses to either existing, different, system or virtual accounts.
What is the difference between /courier/etc/maildropfilter and maildroprc ?
One is used to install maildrop as an SMTP mail filter. The other contains
global mail filtering instructions.
Why would maildrop work when put in a user's .courier file but not when
set as DEFAULTDELIVERY in courierd?
Syntax error, or Courier hasn't been restarted.
What is the authcustom authorization method?
A place to hack your own code.
