I think you can not use the @ sign in virtual adresses for portability purposes (some client mua are not able to work with account@domain for the login field)

but i think this is not a problem with courier, but with some user clients. i made the test with a telnet client...

It also means that you can not have more than one alias for all the domain you are hosting -> e.g. test@somedomain can not exists if test@anotherdomain exists...

are you sure?

What you should try todo if you want aliases trough multiple domains is to use a virtusertable with you smtp server to redirect aliases to distinct courier users ; )

Rewrite your virtual accounts and try to log without the @ sign !

sorry i wanted to write:

i had no success... :)

without a problem, but i cannot fetch mails with pop3. i don't know what i should do now, i read the manpages an html docs, but cannot find a solution. is there a searchable mailing list archive?

/etc/courier/pop3d: [...] authmodulelist="authuserdb authpam" [...]
