So, as I understand it, the defaultdomain gets appended to all addresses

"back" to those addresses would go

Is my understanding correct?

Pretty much. Of course, this is subject to what Courier would normally do

So, it should make no real problems, but clients could only use unqualified
addresses if they have relaying privileges, OR if the defaultdomain is in

Yes. If you know what you're doing, this'll work for you.

But, it's better to keep things less complicated, and just say "Don't do it". Giving such an explanation to someone who's not very familiar with this, is going to make their head spin.



    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.

Actually it's both, since if defaultdomain does not exist, me gets used.

And if they differ, which one applies?

defaultdomain.

Again, I think that this is one of those situations where the

"Doctor, it hurts when I do this."

"Well, don't do it, then."

principle applies.
