Hello,
I have a strange problem with Courier aliases. I had a mail server
installation where aliases seemed to work correctly. I made a complete
server reinstall and configured Courier exactly the way I did before (I
think). Now aliases don’t work anymore as they should.
I basically have the following:
* a me file with content “host.example.com”
* a defaultdomain file with content “host.example.com”
* a locals file with the following content:
localhost
host
host.example.com
* an aliases/system file with the following content:
root: postmaster
postmaster: user
@example.com: user-example
Sending mail to user, which is an ordinary user, works fine. However, if I
send mail to root or postmaster, I get a log messages similar to the
following:
courierd: started,id=…,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,module=local,
host=alias!root!1!1!/etc/courier/aliasdir!!,addr=<alias>
courierlocal: id=…,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
addr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Unable to read .courier file.
The mail message stays in the queue.
If I change the postmaster line in the alias file to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: user
and run makealiases, new mail to root and postmaster is delivered. However,
mail to non-existent users still results in the above log messages and in the
mail message hanging in the queue. In addition, messages sent to root or
postmaster before the change in the alias file still cannot be delivered and
result in the above error messages in the logs.
I’d be grateful for any help.
Best wishes,
Wolfgang
