I thought I understood how this works but apparently not. I want all mail to a virtually hosted domain to go to a single acount.

Jul 17 16:40:10 smtp courieresmtp: id=0001815B.4E2283C4.00006E91, from=<[email protected]>,addr=<[email protected][email protected]>: configuration error: mail loops back to myself (MX problem). I'm not sure where the "loops back to myself" comes from or the [email protected][email protected] construction?
Virtual @domain addresses get written using 'me' for the domain. If you do not have 'me', the results of gethostname get used instead. That's where smtp.renta.net comes from. From the makealiases page:
The following special syntax implements a virtual domain. A virtual
domain redirects all mail for an entire domain to one user:
@domain: user
This special entry results in any recipient address of the form
foo@domain to be rewritten as user-foo@me, where me is the hostname of
the machine, which we expect to be a local domain.
In your case [email protected], me=smtp.renta.net, domain=qtmoz.org, and
foo=markc, so
user-foo@me becomes [email protected][email protected]
~ cat /etc/courier/me smtp.renta.net ~ cat /etc/courier/locals localhost
