Okay, glad I know now.  Thanks.  (Any plans for it?)

Something else which bit me tonight, actually as a result of backing out
of a test scenario for what we just discussed.

I realised that a .courier-default containing a single blank line causes
the delivery to simply vanish.  I suppose it is being interpreted as a
blank delivery instruction, hence, discard the mail without notice.  Is
that by design?  If not, it seems like a dangerous oversight.  If so, I
can't imagine why it is desirable.

I discovered this was the case after scratching my head for awhile about
why no mail was coming in to a particular account.  (I probably caused
this to exist by doing an 'echo >.courier-default' as opposed to 'rm
.courier-default; touch .courier-default'.)

Nonetheless, a blank (I now realise that means EMPTY!) .courier-default
is required for [EMAIL PROTECTED] forwarding to occur per the delivery
instruction in the mysql table.  Nuisance.
