I was following the thread last week regarding this.  I am having some 
problems getting maildrop to bind to the correct 'user' when doing this, and 
unfortunately, I have run out of imaginative guesses to resolve the problem. 
  For some reason the subscription request does not bind to the 
.courier-default in the $HOME directory.  Maildrop delivers it instead to 
the default maildrop file, /usr/lib/courie/etc/aliasdir/Maildir

Dec  4 23:47:32 gimp courierd: 
started,id=0010A467.3C0DA6E4.00005798,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,module=local,host=alias!mail-users-subscribe!506!505!/usr/lib/courier/etc/aliasdir!!,addr=<alias>

**** Maildrop delivers it instead to the default maildrop file (as the 
default user uid=506(courier) gid=505(courier)), 
/usr/lib/courie/etc/aliasdir/Maildir, and couriermlm does not get invoked to 
generate the reply ****

[root@gimp /root]#echo "To: mail-users" | /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail
Dec  5 00:03:00 gimp courierd: 
started,id=0010A467.3C0DAA84.000057C5,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,module=local,host=mail-users!!502!501!/home/alan/websites/balclutha/clients/balclutha.org/mailing_lists/mail-users!!,addr=<mail-users>
**** we can quite happily deliver to the alias !!! (well it returns a 'you 
are not subscribed to list message' here - the .courier file works ... ****

My .courier files are:

[root@gimp mailing_lists]#more mail-users/.courier*
::::::::::::::
mail-users/.courier
::::::::::::::
| /usr/lib/courier/bin/couriermlm msg  mail-users
::::::::::::::
mail-users/.courier-default
::::::::::::::
| /usr/lib/courier/bin/couriermlm ctlmsg mail-users
::::::::::::::
mail-users/.courier-owner
::::::::::::::
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I do suspect it is wrong to have the alias as being the list owner - there 
is no associated mailbox.  But even a real account exhibits this problem.

The permissions on these files are:
-rw-------    1 tomcat   tomcat         50 Dec  3 12:07 .courier
-rw-------    1 tomcat   tomcat         53 Dec  3 15:05 .courier-default
-rw-------    1 tomcat   tomcat         25 Dec  5 04:45 .courier-owner

[root@gimp mail-users]#id tomcat
uid=502(tomcat) gid=501(tomcat) 
groups=501(tomcat),2(daemon),12(mail),500(web)

This corresponds to the user/group in the alias definition.

My mail-users/options file
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
NAME=Mailing List Manager
POST=subscribers
SUBSCRIBE=all
[EMAIL PROTECTED]


Does anyone have any idea about what I am missing?

Cheers, Alan
