Thanks! Works great. I should have thought of that one. I tried just about everything else. :)

Next question: Some imap/pop clients let you put in "virt@virtdomain.com" in as your username and "virtdomain.com" as your pop/imap server and they don't get confused. Some others (such as netscape on linux), get very confused and try to use "virtuser" as the username and "virtdomain.com" as the server. My workaround to help these clients is to create a second virtual user with username "virtuser-virtdomain_com" for them to log in to the pop/imap server with. This is pretty kludgy. Is there a better way to get around this client limitation?

Thanks!

John

Is it possible to have a mailing list, using couriermlm, which is not associated with a user? I thought I could fake this by creating an alias for the mailing list, but I also have to create aliases for the owner, help, subscribe, and unsubscribe.

For example, I'd like a list which was "sale@foo.com", rather than "list@foo.com". Is this possible using couriermlm? The man page seems to imply it, but I can't see any information about how to implement it.

Use a "fake" virtual user, with userdb. Create a userdb record, put in some dummy userid and groupid, give it a home directory, create that home directory, using the same userid/groupid, and create a .courier and .courier-default file in that "home directory". The mailing list directory will also have to be created using that userid and groupid as well.
