Ahh, thanks Bill. That why it's occuring. I do have a relay inbetween courier and the outside world (of course only till all the ttl's expire) and it was the postmaster there that was getting the reply.

I'm still curious if the sender doesn't exist if that 550 response will bounce around in the queue for a while and still generate a warning to postmaster.

You are mistaken. Rejecting incoming mail with a 550 means it never gets accepted in the local mail queue in the first place.

... which means that the message isn't coming from your main courier server, but rather from whatever host is sitting between the internet and courier - perhaps an smtp proxy on the firewall?
