So, as I understand it, the defaultdomain gets appended to all addresses
without domain name in headers and envelope, and the mail is handles as if
it was sent from/to those addresses. If those addresses are not local,
courier will deliver them using standard way (e.g. using smtp). And replies
"back" to those addresses would go
Is my understanding correct?
If so, then the "must" could be changed to "should", or the following
section in the courier(8) man page could be changed just to warn admin about
consequences of undeliverability of mail to those domain:
Note
The mail domain in defaultdomain must be one of the local
domains, as defined by the locals and the hosteddomains control
files.

the 'me' documentation in courier(8) man page indicates that it's the 'me'
what is used for addresses without domains in aliases (maybe by makealiases
command?):
Warning
If you change the contents of this configuration file, you must
run the makealiases command again, else your mail will promptly
begin to bounce. If you don´t have this configuration file
defined, and you change the system´s network host name, you
also must run makealiases.
