Yes, sorry, haven't used the mail daemon bit of Courier for a while now
A quick look at the makealiases man page reveals that the program builds a
database of aliases called /etc/courier/aliases.dat out of the default
/etc/courier/aliases file or directory (which is where the system file
resides). You don't need to use the default directory/file or even the
aliases.dat database, but never mind about that for now.
If you do:
makealiases -chk
it tries to verify the locate addresses in aliases.dat.
To see what's in aliases.dat, do:
makealiases -dump
These two commands might help with the troubleshooting.
If I remember it right, your UNIX mail account is "queen" and you want to
alias "kevin.queen" to that. The correct format would be:
kevin.queen: queen
and not the other way round.
