I am running courier 0.44.2 on fedora core1 (fully patched). It has been
running with no problem for almost a year. It is set up to use aliases
for each user, thus each user has an entry in /etc/courier/aliases/system.
Today some more users were added, and now none of the users are found -
ie all emails being delivered are producing the error "user unknown" . I
have rolled back the aliases file and re-run makealiases, and this has
restored the mailserver, however this doesn't solve the problem.
Is there an issue with numbers in the system file? each entry looks like
this:
email address: system username
There is now 100 users listed, is there a number limit? I have straced
the makealises process, bash -x makealiases, straced the auth process to
see where it could be falling over, but none are providing me with a
clue. The only error I get is that the user is unknown.
I do not know if there is a limit, but I'd go with a sql or ldap
setup to handle so many users.
