In my case, if I didn't have a .courier-default file the mail would be
rejected during SMTP; but I need a way to support sendmail's user
extension (ie [EMAIL PROTECTED]).  The only way I can see to do that
is using .courier-default to deliver to a program which prints the final
delivery address (ie [EMAIL PROTECTED]).  That works but has the unfortunate
side-effect of causing all email, even for [EMAIL PROTECTED], to be
accepted.

I wish there was a better way of solving this.  I have to say, I've
pooh-poohed sendmail as unnecessarily complex, but this is exactly the
sort of problem which is trivial in sendmail.  I'm just about ready to
modify submit to make it handle the problem!
