Hi,

I've struggled in the past with this 450 error and it's
biting me again, I'm very confused as to how to resolve
certain aliases and how they relate to authdaemon.

Here's my problem... I'm trying to setup a mailing list
using mailman, using a virtual domain
"list.americasnet.com". I also use authmysql for
authentication, however, I have NOT setup anyting in mysql
for the mailing list.

My assumption is that anything that is not in authmysql,
will eventually default to
etc/courier/aliasdir/.courier-default.

That "policy" seems to work for other virtual domains I
have, basically the addresses are not in mysql, but are
handled by the .courier-default. The way I chose to handle
it is that .courier-default then calls maildrop with a
specific file that handles whatever needs to be handled.

So I'm confused why .courier-default works for some virtual
domains, however it does not work at all for the
@list.americasnet.com virtual domain.

I have list.americasnet.com in both my hosteddomains and
esmtpacceptmailfor.dir/domains files, and of course, I've
run the makehosteddomains and makeacceptmailfor programs. 

Also, running authtest will not work because, again, mysql
does not cover these addresses, they are meant to be handled
by the .courier-default fallback.

The difference is that for the other virtual domains, I'll
send an email, and my mailfilter script will be processed by
maildrop. But sending an email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] immediately gets the "450
Service temporarily unavailable" error, it never even gets
processed by .courier-default. And I verified that because
the maildrop script that gets run outputs a debug "echo"
statement at the very top, which I never see, nor do I see
any sort of maildrop errors being reported. So as far as I
can tell, the email is never making it to the
courier-default fallback.

I'm guessing I have something strangely misconfigured?

Please help me understand this better, I often have some
issues with this sort of stuff and this 450 error... :-(

Ricardo
