I added 'mytestdomain.com' to etc/esmtpacceptmailfor, so it would at least not deny relaying, but then it actually sent me mail back with 'no such user'. Then, starting at the results of grep on all man pages, I made a zero-byte .courier file in the target mail directory. That did nothing. I renamed it .courier-default. Wait a second. Did I really just say that? I made a zero-byte dotfile in a user directory, and it started accepting mail? Now, I'm a C and Perl hacker, I've been using Apache since before version 1, and I even have a fairly decent grasp of mod_rewrite ... but that's a *little* on the arcane side for me. Mind you, it is several orders of magnitude *less* arcane than sendmail.cf, so I'm very happy with Courier now. :) Off to see about porting my 5-year-old sendmail.cf-hack vmail system to Courier :) Cheers, Tom -- -- Tom Rathborne [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.aceldama.com/~tomr/ Most people can't understand how others can blow their noses differently than they do. -- Turgenev _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
