Hi Sorry Sam.
I shouldn't have posted the last message. I got a bit confused with the $HOME/.courier-default and /aliasdir/.courier-default files but I managed to figure it out. Here's what I did. (1) I created a user imap with a maildir (1) I created a file /usr/lib/courier/etc/aliasdir/.courier-default with the following line || echo "imap-$[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2) I create a file /home/imap/.courier-default with the following two lines || x=`echo "$DEFAULT"`; test ! -d "$HOME/Maildir/.$x" || echo "$HOME/Maildir/.$x" || x=`echo "$DEFAULT"`; test ! -d "$HOME/Maildir/.$x" || echo "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" When courier is unable to resolve an email address, it attempts to see if there is an imap folder with the same name. If the imap folder is found, then the mail is delivery to it. If the folder is not found, then the email is returned to the postmaster. This probably isn't the most efficient method of handling the imap folder but it allows me have emails list [EMAIL PROTECTED] without creating a user account called anyone. This more or less duplicates the functionality of public folders in MS Exchange. Does anyone see any problems with what I have done.
