When I try this, I cannot receive any mail at all, even local to local
users.

I've seen an answer from A. Birkholz suggesting that I fut a file
.courier-username in the aliasdir and run makealiases.

But I cannot see how that will work, when I'm not trying to make an
alias.

I have a number of Unix users who will have a mail account on my courier
MTA. Next to those users, I want to be able to have a number of
mailaccounts who don't get an Unix account, for security reasons. Using
userdb for those accounts was my idea.

You have probably listed "mydomain.com" in the "locals" config
file. Delete it from there, and put it instead into the "hosteddomains"
file.
