Use the utility "maildirmake" which comes with courier. So to create the proper maildir in your $HOME directory you run #maildirmake $HOME/Maildir Make sure you run maildirmake as the proper user so that courier can access the maildir when it needs to deliver > Also the install docs talk about an esmtpdacceptmailfor > file but my install has an esmtpacceptmailfor.dir > directory. You can use either the file 'esmtpdacceptmailfor' or put separate files (with whatever names you want) in the 'esmtpacceptmailfor.dir' directory. Check out the courier man page and search for the file name. It will explain the differences. > As a side issue, what is the difference between a domain > in "locals" and a "hosteddomains".

For an address in a domain that is defined as a 'local' domain, the actual user account is ONLY the username; it does not include the domain itself. So if "domain.com" is in "locals" and a message arrives for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", courier removes the "@domain.com" and tries to deliver to an account called "user". For hosted domains the domain IS part of the address. So in the above example if "domain.com" is a hosted domain then courier would try to deliver to a user called "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Again, look in the courier man page and search for "hosteddomains" and "locals".
