Re: [courier-users] Is there a simple way to bounce a message via
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 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?

[courier-users] Is there a simple way to bounce a message via .courier files?
Hello Everyone, I've got a problem where I've had to rename one of my couriermlm mailing lists. Basically it went from: user-original_name@domain to user-new_name@domain I want to make sure that messages sent to the: user-original_name@domain generate a bounce message so that former users of the list (who have been notified of the change, but are liable to not remember the change if they don't get a bounce message) are warned if they send mail to the old address.

Re: [courier-users] catch all for one domain only

It should be "al...@usosalix.org". > As a feedback, I might suggest that the manpage is not that clear (at least to me) in explaining the fact that the address name you create MUST absolutely be alias@hosteddomain and not something_else@hosteddomain, because, when a noob like me reads it, he understands that he has to replace hosteddomain with the real domain name, and he might understand that he can replace alias with anything else, as far as he stores the .courier-default file in its $HOME directory. That's also because the "alias" word lends itself particularly well to mean "something to be replaced by the real thing". Moreover the manpage calls the whole thing a "delivery rule" instead of "email address" or "local account" or the like: I'm sure that's the correct name for it, but, again, a rule recalls something you make up and change at will, not a fixed constant. I know, the real problem is that I'm a noob, but manpages are for noobs, aren't they? However, it works now, thanks a lot. -- Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms. With one year of Intel Parallel Studio XE.
