Hi,

I wonder what I'm doing wrong, because courier seems to need a
complete restart after changes in hostedomains or esmtpacceptmailfor
(even after issuing makeacceptmailfor and makehosteddomains).

If I don't restart courier, mails get rejected with

<<< configuration error: mail loops back to myself (MX problem).

after adding a domain.

Of course it would be nice if there was a way to make courier aware of  
the
changes without restarting all modules, so that people downloading/ 
uploading
their mail do not have to repeat the action just because a new domain
is being hosted.

Anything I'm missing? I read all manpages but couldn't find anything
(a signal to send wia kill to one of the processes would be fine).

### Details on the setup ###

OS: FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE
Courier Package: courier-0.54.0
Courier used with mysql and all parts of it (mta, local delivery,  
imap, pop3...)

Command used to restart courier: the one included in the FreeBSD port
( /usr/local/etc/rc.d/courier restart )
Issuing esmtpd restart (instead of the global one) does not change  
the  result.

Only restarting the whole package seems to make it deliver the mails.

### How to repeat: ###

1) add a domain to the files (FreeBSD paths below)
/usr/local/etc/courier/esmtpacceptmailfor.dir/default
/usr/local/etc/courier/hosteddomains/default
(the domain has a correct MX entry pointing to the server in question)

2) call these cmds:
makeacceptmailfor && makehosteddomains

3) send an email to a valid account of the new domain, from a valid  
return path
        -> the email gets accepted (so some part of courier knows it's hosted  
already)

4) wait a little...

5) check mail on the senders account -> you'll get an error message  
stating
        <<< configuration error: mail loops back to myself (MX problem).

6) restart courier (I use  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/courier restart )

7) repeat step 3
        -> mail get delivered without error messages..


Thank You for any advice!

Regards,
Lorenzo
