Hello,

I'm running Courier 0.59, hosting a handful of domains.

I appear to be having some issues dealing with aliases, and I'm hoping maybe someone can set me straight.

In /etc/courier/aliases I have the following files:

system domain1 domain2 domain3... etc

There are 2 distinct issues going on...

Issue 1:

In one "domain" file I'll have a line like this:

us@domain1.com: us@external-domain.com

When I run "makealiases -chk" I get: "550 Remote Address."

However, "makealiases -dump" shows

us@domain1.com: us@external-domain.com

Yet when I try to send mail to "us@domain1.com" I get "550 User < us@domain1.com> unknown"

Issue 2:

I just attempted to subscribe to this Sourceforge mailing list and received an error about not having a postmaster account for the domain I attempted to subscribe under. However, in another of those alias files I have a line like this:

post@domain2.com: us@domain3.com

Where domain2 and domain3 are all locally hosted domains. In this case as well, "makealiases -dump" shows the postmaster alias exactly as I specified it in the alias file, yet I still get "550 User unknown" errors.

What am I doing wrong?
