Hello again,
after a reboot of my server, the postmaster alias works with the ordinary
postmaster: user
line.
However, mail to non-existent users still isn’t rejected. Instead the system
still tries to consult the aliasdir, complains that it cannot find a .courier
file and tries to resubmit the message over and over again. Why?
Best wishes,
Wolfgang
