I am running various tests on my new Courier installation before putting it 
into service.  I cannot get virtual domains to work:

> telnet 172.16.2.206 25

/usr/local/etc/courier/aliases/system contains:

@thebridgeconnection.ca: bridgeian

~bridgeian contains:
slam# cd ~bridgeian
slam# ls -al
total 10
drwxr-xr-x  2 bridgeian  staff  512 Sep 29 20:49 .
drwxr-xr-x  8 root       wheel  512 Sep 29 20:18 ..

-rw-r--r--  1 bridgeian  staff   14 Sep 29 20:49 .courier-default

slam# cat .courier
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
slam# cat .courier-default
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
slam# cat .courier-education
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

My intent is to have only one virtual domain address: 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  No other mailbox should exist; things such 
as sales@ and info@ are targets for spammers.

It is not clear if I could simply put into aliases/system something like:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

which would be to the point and do exactly what I want without having me fool 
around with populating ~bridgeian.  Is this possible?  In any case, I have 
also tried using .courier files as shown above.

My second question: how does one troubleshoot Courier in general?  Sendmail 
has debug options and rule-testing facilities that allow one to step through 
an address resolution, but Courier does not appear to have anything similar.
Most likely I have buggered something in the .courier files (since I get 550 
user unknown for anything in @thebridgeconnection.ca, but 250 Ok for 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], which implies that the alias is doing something in 
that remote delivery is not attempted.)
