Great idea - thanks! This allowed me to find an fix the problem!!
By adding the environment tracking to all the .courier files I was able to verify that none of them were used for mail to sanghas-help, whereas other sanghas- administrative commands worked exactly as expected. This left the only possibility being some courier alias for sanghas-help. I had checked that earlier in courierwebadmin and there were none, but with no other possibilities I looked more carefully in /etc/courier/aliases. There was a webadmin~ file!! courierwebadmin did not show its contents, but courier did treat it as aliases!! On my old server the list was managed as a courier alias, but this led to a number of problems, a primary one being that it has so many members that many common sites rejected incoming messages because they had so many recipients. cmlm addresses that with a better delivery mechanism. I ported over my old aliases/webadmin file and edited it in emacs initially as that was faster that courierwebadmin, but then reverted to use of courierwebadmin going forward. But forgot about the pesky webadmin~ files, which was invisible to courierwebadmin, but not to courier. Coincidentally and unknown to me, the list owner, whom I'd granted access to courierwebadmin to manage the list, had used a sanghas-help alias to herself! I had deleted all the sanghas stuff out of aliases/webadmin when porting it and completely missed that aliases/sanghas-help was even there in the old version. Stupid problem. Sorry for all the traffic and thanks so much for the suggestion!
