Courier will not accept mail for users that don't exist.  So somewhere you 
have told it to accept ALL mail for this domain.  That probably means that 
you have a .courier-default file in your aliasdir.  Check in there and see.   
Read the "dot-courier" man page for an explanation of how this works.

The other possibility is that you have defined the account 
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which is catch-all account.  In that case courier will 
look for a .courier-default file in the $HOME directory of that account for 
instructions on what to do with mail for unknown users of this domain.  The 
"makehosteddomains" man page will explain how this feature works.
