In order to keep my maildrop processing rules simple and consistent, and
for other reasons which I won't go into here, I'd like, if possible, for
the "defaultdomain" to also get processed with "@domain.tld" attached.
The only way I can think of to make this happen would be for me to put
my "defaultdomain" entry also into "hosteddomains". If I do that,
should I remove it from "locals", or do I need to keep it both in
"locals" and "hosteddomains"?
A related question: can "locals" be completely empty (or non-existent),
as long as all my domains appear in "hosteddomains"?
Sure - you don't need a local domain. Everything can be a hosteddomains
- - just make sure that the locals file is empty. But if you do this then
you'll need to change the username of ALL the users who are on that domain.
For instance if your local domain was 'domain.com' and you had users
"bob" and "alice" then their user names in userdb or mysql or whatever
authentication method you use would be "bob" and "alice". If you move
'domain.com' to a hosteddomain then you need to change their user names
to be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". This is the difference
between a local and a hosted domain.
This has to change on the server AND it has to change in all your
clients. Bob will have to change his email client to log in as
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]". He can no longer log in as "bob". If you've got a
lot of clients this can be a *real* pain to get them all to change their
logins, so make sure you've got a plan and people know about it before
you make the change.

Actually, if you're using courierauthlib you got:
DEFAULT_DOMAIN in authmysqlrc and authpgsqlrc
LDAP_DOMAIN in authldaprc
I used to patch the userdb auth module to append my default domain if
there wasn't a @ in the username, but that was long before authlib.
No need to patch anymore, I now use mysql ;)
Later.-
