Hi everybody,

I found an error in www.courier-mta.org/courier.html where is default dir for 'several configuration files' /etc/courier. In my installation of Courier it is not the case because there is no such directory, I assume it is /usr/lib/courier/etc?


If most of the courier configuration files are there. I believe that's the default installation directory.

Anyway, I did not found there any local nor me file, so I created local file with following lines:
mydomain.com
.mydomain.com
according to instructions from the a.m. html document.
After trying to send message using Mozzila Mail after some time I got warning that says something like "Mail server responded: DNS lookup failure. Please check your email address".


One would assume that you've put your own domain there? My locals file reads:
sitharus.com
Just a single line, as I only use one domain for email.

Don't worry, I have put swisslion.co.yu really.



Does this mean that Courier does not read my local file? I tried to change my e-mail address: username, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], where?mail.mydomain.com is the name of Courier mail server, but warning was always the same.


It means the domain you're using doesn't have a DNS entry. So I guess you've put mydomain.com in instead of your own domain name. If you don't have one, you'll need to register one.

You are right, but according to instructions, Courier should not make DNS lookup at all, since this domain is defined in locals file? I am testing this mail server on our intranet. Is it possible the way I am doing?
