It's not currently possible to do that.  The [EMAIL PROTECTED] only 
works for users that don't exist.  "bernd-foo" is an extension to a user 
that does exist.

I'm not aware of any documentation that says that hosteddomain addresses 
are looked up "literally".  The man page for courier should only be 
taken to indicate that mailboxes in hosteddomains are looked up with the 
domain left on, while local domains are stripped off.  The man page for 
dot-courier isn't specific about locals or hosteddomains because it 
applies to both.

You may not provide them that access, but that doesn't mean that the 
capability should be written out of courier.  Doing so would make 
hosteddomains significantly less flexible than locals.
