I don't know if this helps you, but my setup for my personal mail and
toss-off addresses is quite simple, and just works.
I have a ~/.courier file which is unrelated to my toss-off addresses,
and does a number of things with filtering, but it's beside the point,
and my toss-off addresses don't depend on it.
If I want to create a toss-off (temporary) address, I just touch the
file ~/.courier-xxx ("xxx" can be anything) to create an empty file
with the given name and mail to fmouse-...@fmp.com will be delivered to
fmo...@fmp.com. The .courier-xxx file is an empty
file, just a marker telling courier that fmouse-...@fmp.com is a
legitimate address. If I delete ~/.courier-xxx then email to fmouse-xxx
@fmp.com gets bounced as an unknown address. I don't have a .courier-
default file, nor do I send emails through /usr/bin/preline in the
.courier-xxx files.
As far as the backscatter bounce is concerned, it's probably a local
delivery problem. Check your mail log prior to the entry you quote and
see if you can determine the reason the backscatter is generated. See
the thread at
