Unfortunately, Courier does not currently support the <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> notation, 
neither in version 0.37 nor in the latest version available from the Courier 
website[1].  There have been others, including myself, who would have needed to use it 
in the past, but so far, there is no real solution other than modifying Courier's 
source code yourself and recompiling.

As a temporary work-around, as Alexei Batyr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mentioned on this list 
just today, you might be able to make Courier accept the message by creating an alias 
address of the exact form required by DSBL in your /etc/courier/aliases file:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: postmaster

I don't know whether this will work well enough to get you off the DSBL list, though.  
Good luck!

gives "Forum not found" errors when accessing the mailing list archives.
