Hello

As as I think mail server should reject mail when there is no account.

I'm using courier 0.48.2 with maildrop delivery:
| /usr/local/bin/maildrop

My maildroprc file looks like this:

exception {
         xfilter "/usr/local/bin/spamassassin -x"
}
exception {
         include "$HOME/.mailfilter"
}

When I try to send email to noexisting account logs show me:

The rest of your Courier configuration.



Undo whatever you did to the default configuration.

The default configuration of Courier does not accept mail to nonexistent mailboxes. You must've hacked Courier in one of several different ways in order to force it to do just that.
