Yes, that is likely.  However, since you haven't told us how the domain 
in question is configured, we can only guess as to what's wrong.

I might venture a guess that you've created a virtual domain alias 
(@domain: user), and that user's home directory isn't readable by the 
user as which courier runs.  In that case, courier can't check for the 
dot-courier files in the user's home directory during the SMTP 
conversation, and it has to accept everything.  You'd need to add read 
and execute permissions to the user's home directory to fix that problem.

If that's not it, you need to tell us whether the domain is local or 
hosted, how the users are configured, whether or not there are any 
.courier-*default files in /etc/courier/aliasdir, and anything else that 
might be relevant to the domain's configuration.  The version shouldn't 
matter; Courier's smtp service has never behaved the way you describe 
unless specifically configured to do so.
