What happens when you 'dig redhat.local'? Can you resolve the
domain?

It doesn't matter what the mailserver calls itself. That does not
necessarily have anything to do with the domains it answers for. If
you can't get DNS for the domain, you can't send mail there. Also, I
believe the default Courier installation will not receive mail from
an email address with a domain that cannot be resolved.
"telnet localhost 25" doesn't tell you anything unless you're trying
to send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You also need 'makeacceptmailfor'.

In /etc/courier/authdaemonrc:
authmodulelist="authuserdb"
In /etc/courier, edit esmtpd, pop3d, and imapd (I assume, I don't use
imap myself):
AUTHMODULES="authdaemon"

I use userdb as I don't have that many users (about 900 at the
moment -- many of which are inactive) and I find it easier to deal
with since I am not familiar with mysql.
