Hello !!!
I use Courier 0.44.2.20040229 with OpenLdap.
I need to have an alias pointing to an alias. 
To be more specific i have the following entries in Ldap

dn: AliasName=foo,ou=aliases,dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xx
AliasName: foo
objectClass: Alias
Maildrop: user1
Maildrop: user2
Maildrop: user3

# noc-aueb, aliases, noc, aueb, gr
dn: AliasName=foo-bar,ou=aliases,dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xx
objectClass: Alias
AliasName: foo-bar
Maildrop: foo

When I send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], mailserver queries ldap for foo
using ou=aliases,dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xx and then it sends the message to
users ... OK!!!

When I send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], mailserver queries ldap for
foo-bar using ou=aliases,dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xx, it finds foo but then it 
does not query ldap again using ou=aliases,dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xx, but
using ou=users,dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xx and then returns 
"... to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 550 User unknown."
It seems that it does not try again to discover if foo is an alias
in ldap, it directly checks if foo is a username, foo is not a username
and it fails...!!!

The question is: How can i have multi level aliasing (i.e. alias of an 
alias ...) using ldap ???

Any suggestion hint etc would be most welcome

Thanx in advance
