Did I break some un-written rule of etiquette? I really need help with this
problem in any way I can. I was very hopeful to get this mail server
functioning this weekend, and on such a lively list thought someone would at
least try to help... I don't understand why courier says its delivering it
to the right folder -->

chblackboard.com>,size=1300,success: Message delivered.

It says its successfully delivered.... Then it re-writes it to an invalid
address -->

Jan 31 19:04:45 localhost courierd: newmsg,id=0010DA00.3E3B0F1D.00005612
Jan 31 19:04:45 localhost courierd:

Nothing is being rewritten to anything. The mail is delivered to the account in question, that's the first logged part.

The 'newmsg' record indicates a completely new message injected into the mail server.

This is what happens when the mail account's .courier file (or some other mail forwarding script), manually forwards the incoming mail. The forwarding address appears to be "techblackboard.com/chetw/", and since it does not include a mail domain, the default mail domain is appended.

You're probably running some script on that account that reads received mail, chews on it, somehow, then sends it. Why your script decides to forward mail to an address called "techblackboard.com/chetw/" is something that only you can answer.

So, let's see: you're running some script or a program whose presence you neglected to explicitly mention. It's doing something wrong, you haven't even posted the script, and you want to know how to fix it?

Do you see something wrong with this picture?

Here is a recap:

Actually I am looking at it a little different now, it seems that it
delivers the message, then for some reason re-writes it and adds the default
domain. Why isn't it delivering it to the maildir?
(/home/vmail/domains/techblackboard.com/chetw)
