Hi Sam, Thanks again for your response.
For listuser, I have a number of files of the form .courier-list .courier-list-default .courier-list-owner And there used to be a .courier file, but I've renamed the .courier-default file, restarted courier, just in case there was some sort of data cached in memory, but this does not cause courier to reject the message during the SMTP exchange. Instead, as I've previously noted, courier-mta bounces the message after it attempts local delivery. (which is not what it did when the .courier-default file existed, since this file directed courier to forward the mail to me). If you'd like a listing of all my .courier files and/or their contents, I can send it to you off-list, since I'm trying to keep the list addresses private.
