That depends. "k...@linux" will never work in courier because "linux" is not a legal hostname. You've got to have a top-level domain - linux.com, linux.me, linux.my-made-up-domain, etc. That check is hard-coded into courier and can't be changed without editing and recompiling the source code. But you can tell courier not to verify whether any hostnames (like "linux.my-made-up-domain") actually exist by setting BOFHCHECKDNS=1 in the '/etc/courier/esmtpd'. Rather than turning off the check globally, you can turn it off only for certain ip addresses, like localhost. Check out the /etc/courier/smtpaccess/default file (or any file in the 'smtpaccess' directory). If you put 127.0.0.1<TAB>BOFHCHECKDNS=1 in that file and then run 'makesmtpaccess', courier will ignore the check when connecting to localhost, but not otherwise. (Make sure you use the TAB character to separate the items. Spaces won't work.)
