You are running a beta copy of Courier. While they are generally pretty stable and it may not relate to your problem, I strongly suggest you update to the latest stable release. It is an extremely easy process to upgrade if you are using RPM. You should upgrade courier-authlib RPMS first then Courier. Also, you should be installing the latest CentOS patches. CentOS 4 is currently at update 2, sometimes referred to as CentOS 4.2. These patches fix security issues and bugs. A quick: yum update should get you up to 4.2 + any further patches CentOS has released. > I have been able to setup > forwarding by editing the forwards file inside the aliases subdirectory of > courier.

Thanks in advance for any help! Try running: strings /etc/courier/aliases.dat See if the changed email aliases are appearing. If the changes are not being reflected, there may be a problem with the file, try: rm /etc/courier/aliases.dat makealiases To recreate the file, then try the strings command again. If it's still no go, you may be making changes in the wrong place. You should be modifying any file in /etc/courier/aliases/ (if you didn't use RPM to build courier the path to etc may differ).
