OK, this makes a small amount of sense, SpamAssassin and ClamAV get run
from the global maildroprc file, and I added code to disallow spam and
virus processing but not delivery for mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thus ....
# If alias account, do nothing.
if ( substr($USER, 0,6) eq "alias@" )
{
EXITCODE=0
exit
}
So I'm not deep-sixing these, or sending them to /dev/null, I'm just
telling courierlocal to forego checking any mail addressed to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for spam and viruses. And yes, if I put in
a .courier file in the alias directory, any delivery instructions
therein are processed.
using "| cat > /tmp/lastmessage.txt" in a .courier file in the alias dir
I get exactly the same message captured whether I send email to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or just "@fmp.com". Both are processed according to the
rules in the .courier file.
This is not what I want. Instead mail from outside the local system
(i.e. not being handed off from some other courier component) to either
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or especially to "@somedomain" should be rejected as
User unknown.
So the mystery is solved, but not the original problem.
