I can promise you that 1) the only authentication methods I am using are: authmodulelist="authcram authuserdb authshadow"
and 2) I have only ONE userdb entry (read: 1 file in etc/userdb/ with 1 line in it) and the address looks nothing like "*alias*", nor does it have the home directory of /usr/lib/courier/etc/aliasdir/. From what I understand of how courier figures out how to deliver a mail, there's no reason it should be writing to this file. I even recursively grepped for the string "alias" in every file in the etc directory and the only file that has that string in it is aliases/system, and those are comment lines.

Somehow, you have an entry in your userdb (or mysqldb or whatever you are using for your user database), that is delivering "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to the aliasdir. Might want to list out your user database and see who has a homedir of "/usr/lib/courier/etc/aliasdir/". Then, you might notice that the user account starts with "alias". Which to courier means that "any email sent to this domain that DOESN�T match another mailbox, gets filed into this directory". I use them sparingly, because spammers like to use dictionary attacks on many domains. All of those would eventually end up in the alias mailbox for a domain! oop! I hope I am correct on this. The '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' is the behavior I have on our two servers, so I know it is at least partially true =) Dan scribbled something like: > So does anyone have any idea why courier is delivering to this file for users > that don't exist? > > Dan > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Courier Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2004 5:03 AM > Subject: Re: [courier-users] aliasdir/Maildir mbox file. > > >> # ls -la /usr/lib/courier/etc/aliasdir/ >> total 12 >> drwxr-xr-x 2 courier courier 4096 May 15 10:44 . >> drwxr-xr-x 13 courier courier 4096 May 15 10:41 .. >> -rw------- 1 courier courier 2895 May 15 10:44 Maildir >> # >> >> Alas, no hidden files... >> >> Dan >> -Randall Shaw ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: SourceForge.net Broadband Sign-up now for SourceForge Broadband and get the fastest 6.0/768 connection for only $19.95/mo for the first 3 months! http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id%62&alloc_ida84&op=ick _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: SourceForge.net Broadband Sign-up now for SourceForge Broadband and get the fastest 6.0/768 connection for only $19.95/mo for the first 3 months! http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=2562&alloc_id=6184&op=click _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
