Liam,

First of all, I assume that I am misunderstanding, you are not trying to 
send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but to a domain whose MX that has 
that IP, right?  Because, AFAIK, you can't send and email to an ip
address.

I'm far from being an expert on courier but a few things to check might be:

  1. Can you login to a telnet session to port 25 and manually
     send an email?
  2. what domain do you have in courier/me?
  3. can you send an email to that domain from hotmail?
  4. Are all of your virtual domains in courier/hosteddomains/yourfile
  5. They are also in courier/esmtpacceptmailfor.dir/yourfile
     (On both 4 and 5 the domains should be in lower case.  They are not
      IP's.)
  6. You have run makehosteddomains and makeacceptmailfor and the
     domains are present in courier/hosteddomains.dat and 
     esmtpacceptmailfor.dat ?
  7. a netstat -a shows an smtp deamon.
  8. There is no other smtp service but courier?

That is all I can think of right now and you have probably done all of it,
but maybe something slipped through the cracks.

 | the hotmail bounces with:
 | Reporting-MTA: dns;hotmail.com
 | Received-From-MTA: dns;mail.hotmail.com
 | Arrival-Date: Sat, 2 Nov 2002 10:05:49 -0800
 | 
 | Final-Recipient: rfc822;liamp at 212.212.6.230
 | Action: failed
 | Status: 5.0.0
 | Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 User unknown.
 | 
 | As I said previously I can authenticate successfully with that use using
 | IMAP - so something is up. I based my install on
 | http://www.tonybibbs.com/courier-howto.html which is wrong in places but it
 | got me started.
 | 
 | I am using /home/courierusers for the location for my virtual mailboxes. it
 | containf the following directory:
 | 
 | liamp at 212.212.6.230 (note replacing at -> @ but then again you probably
 | figured that out ;-) )
 | according to his how to I configured maildrop as instructed:
 | 
 | You will need to edit /usr/lib/courier/etc/courierd and search for
 | DEFAULTDELIVERY and make sure it is set to /usr/lib/courier/bin/maildrop
 | 
 | esmtpacceptmailfor has amongst other things the following entries:
 | 
 | newyork2
 | 212.212.6.230
 | 
 | If there is anything else you need to help me - or I have missed please
 | shout and I will provide!
 | 
 | Thanks for the help so far

 | 
 |  Do you have incoming esmtp enabled?
 | 
 |  Telnet to your port 25, see what happens.
