Following up to myself with more info: I've just realized that a cron job running under my account delivers to me successfully. Also, if I manually craft a message to a bad local address with myself as the envelope sender (again, in a telnet session to localhost port 25), the "mail delivery status" message gets to me as it should.
But mail coming in "off the wire" causes courier to conclude that my account doesn't exist. I'm starting to think that the problem isn't actually with account lookups, but with Courier not knowing that it's supposed to accept mail for my machine. Shouldn't the hostname in /etc/courier/me take care of that?
