There's no need to put "localhost" in that file. It's not a valid
domain, and courier won't accept mail for it, even if it's listed.
locals:
localhost
omallet
mydomain.tld
omallet.mydomain.tld
Here, again, localhost and omallet aren't valid in DNS, so they don't
need to be listed.
- The catchall (to cat) works perfectly
- mail to ca...@miaou.mydomain.tld works perfectly
- mail to ca...@mydomain.tld is delayed most of the time
It is unlikely that mail to cat@miaou works perfectly. Your earlier
messages indicated that messages are deferred with the error "Connection
timed out". You need to find out why connections time out to that
system, and correct that problem. Until that is fixed, Courier will
delay mail in order to suppress backscatter.
Check the logs on "miaou" and make sure it's not reaching its maximum
number of connections during the periods when Courier reports that
connections time out. If that information isn't logged, you'll have to
monitor the number of open connections yourself to see if that is the
problem.
