Hi Sam,

I understand the extension matching for the .courier files, it's the
same as for qmail, which is why I'm using .courier in the first place.

I've gone ahead and copied all the .courier files like

rm /home/testuser/.courier*
cp /home/listuser//home/testuser/.courier* /home/testuser/
chown -R testuser /home/testuser/

but, the behavior is still different.

For testuser, the mail continues to rejected during the SMTP exchange:

550 User <testuser-bogus> unknown

for listuser, the mail continues to be accepted during the SMTP
exchange:

250 Ok.

Which will then bounce later.

I've checked

/etc/courier/aliasdir/

just to make sure I didn't have any additional matching aliases there;
I don't have a

.courier-default

or

.courier-listuser-default

for

.courier-listuser

file.  So, as far as I can tell, the delivery instructions should be
exactly the same for listuser and testuser, but the delivery behavior
continues to be different.
