It should work just fine with hosteddomains. It will work with the domain in locals too -- you just have to drop the domain. Just keep in mind that all domains that you list in locals are considered to be equivalent (i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] == [EMAIL PROTECTED]) since the domains are stripped before delivery. Also, you don't need to use ldap or mySQL unless you have a large number of mailboxes. You can use userdb, which is part of Courier and is very easy to use. I'm not sure of how far it will scale, but I've got somewhere around 400 active mailboxes configured using userdb and it works quite well.
