Perfect! Thank you for the tip on the correct way to test this. In fact,
back when I made the user directories 755, this must have started
working properly, I simply had a flawd method of testing.
If anyone could offer a quick explanation of why I see the following
behavior, it would be appreciated:
% cat /etc/courier/bofh
opt BOFHBADMIME=accept
spamtrap [EMAIL PROTECTED]
% mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: test1
Cc:
Null message body; hope that's ok
550 Spam refused.
sendmail: Unable to submit message.
Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 67
% mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: test2
Cc:
Null message body; hope that's ok
After the second message is accepted, I receive a bounce message from
courier containing the following explanation:
This is a delivery status notification from frogcircus.org,
running the Courier mail server, version 0.45.2.
The original message was received on Mon, 29 Mar 2004 10:03:04 -0500
from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1])
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNDELIVERABLE MAIL
Your message to the following recipients cannot be delivered:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
<<< 550 User unknown.
I also experienced the same results when mailing directly from mutt,
instead of using mail. Because of this I assumed that that courier was
accepting [EMAIL PROTECTED], and then sending me a bounce
message. However when I manually ran the SMTP sequence you suggested,
it ends up that courier rejects mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Now I just don't understand why the two types of rejected messages
(BOFH filter versus inexistant account) are rejected in different ways.
In any case, thank you Sam for taking the time to help me understand this. I
certainly appreciate your patience with my lack of knowledge. I must
admit that the more I learn about courier, the more I love it. I just
have a hard time understanding why so many people on the web recommend
courier-imap and courier-pop3, but not courier-mta.
anyway, thanks again,
Charles
