Morgan,
aliases work their own way in courier. To catch [some] unaddressed
mail I resorted to scripting, in order to differentiate between
'well known' aliases without specifying them for each domain.
I put a .courier-default file in the aliasdir subdirectory of
courier config dir. It contains the single line that follows:
|| /etc/courier/aliasdir/courierdefault.sh
Then, courierdefault.sh is coded something like
----- begin code snippets -----
#!/bin/sh
case $HOST in
onedomain*)
NEWADDR="use...@thatdomain.com";;
twodomain*)
# ...
# ... and/or
# ...
LCLOCAL=`echo $LOCAL | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
case $LCLOCAL in
postmaster|admin|operator|root)
NEWADDR="me...@mydomain.com";;
# ...
# ... and eventually
# ...
printf "$NEWADDR\n"
exit $EXIT_CODE
----- end code snippets -----
That code is run as a last resort after Courier cannot find an
appropriate alias or user. However, mail for user...@domain.com
will be bounced without resorting to the system .courier-default
if user1 is found but has no .courier-default in his home directory.
I'm not sure if the latter idiosyncrasy is a bug or a feature.
Hope this helps,
Ciao

I'm converting our mail system from sendmail to the full blow courier
package and I'm getting stuck on some of the alias differences. Under
sendmail we have the following entries in the virtusertable file:
use...@domain.com user1
use...@domain.com user2
use...@domain.com user3
use...@domain.com user4
sal...@domain.com user1
in...@domain.com user1
@domain.com user1
When an email is sent sendmail goes through the list and if it finds a
correspinding us...@domain.com entry the mail is delivered to the specified
local account. If sendmail gets to the bottom of the list without hitting a
corresponding us...@domain.com the last line delivers the piece of mail to
the account specified.
I'm not sure what the best way to accomplish this in courier is. I could
direct all mail for domain.com to a single account and then create
.courier-user files which forward the mail to us...@domain.com but this
seems pretty awkward. Has anyone out there ran across this problem and come
up with an easier solution?
