Hello,

I wanted to set up pythonfilter for quarantine notifications to users but I'm hitting some problems.
My courier version is 0.73 (Debian) and pythonfilter version is 1.10.

Pythonfilter README contains this information:
...
   After configuring the quaranting settings, you'll also need to create an
   alias which users can use to release messages.  The address given to
   users will use the system's hostname or Courier's "me" configuration
   file. See the man page for 'courier' for more information.  That
   hostname must appear in the "locals" configuration file.  The alias
   should be set up as a dot-courier file beginning with "quarantine",
   followed by a hyphen and then the siteid, ending with "-default".
....

hostname, courier 'me' file and courier 'locals' file look like this (real domain replaced)

/etc/hostname/   "serv99"
/etc/courier/me  "serv99.mydomain.com"
/etc/courier/locals  "mydomain.com"

When I set the quarantine system up with this data I did receive notification containing a link to "postmas...@serv99.mydomain.com".

This bounces because the address should be postmas...@mydomain.com.

>From the courier manual I concluded that the "me" file contains a *server name* but it is not required if the "locals" file contains the valid *domain*.
So, I removed the entry in the "me" file and ran "makealiases".

Quarantine notifications were created with the link: "postmas...@mydomain.com" and basically the release process worked (basically means that I received a message that the mail was not found in the DB but that is probably a unrelated problem).

However, now mails to other domains (in particular to gmail.com) didn't get delivered (message: server gmail not found). Therefore I had to revert the change.

Changes to locals/me should have no effect on outgoing mail (unless the destination email address matches the removed/added domain, of course).
