Thanks for the suggestion! But, after reading a few man pages, I've become convinced that maybe I should actually use a:
.mailfilter/rcptfilter-original_name filter so we can refuse the message during the SMTP exchange. During this process I've discovered some things that don't really make a lot of sense to me: Using a seperate, test user with a small number of .qmail files: .courier-test .courier-test~ .courier-test-default and I try to send mail to, say: testuser-bogus@domain courier gives me: 550 User <testuser-bogus> unknown The mail is not even accepted, a bounce notice will be generated by the last SMTP server that tried to deliver the message. But, if I send mail to the listuser like: listuser-bogus@domain the mail is accepted, though it fails to be delivered and will generate a bounce message from the courier-nta server. ~/.courier-default Neither user has either of these files: ~/.mailfilter/rcptfilter ~/.mailfilter/rcptfilter-default both users have exactly one file of the form: ~/.mailfilter/rcptfilter-extension Any ideas why this behavior is not consistent between the 2 users?
