I have just discovered, that if user "www-data" touch the file
"~/.courier-foo" courier accept it and does not complain about a from
file owner!
I allowed my PHP scripts to create/modify/delete files in the user homes
but only if they do not exist.
It seems, this way the problem is solved!
Now I have only to solv the problems with aliasses, because I do not
like to expose my "local account" to spammers.
Mean, my account is I can create any attachments to
it, but it will not work for my alias .
It would be very handy, if courier support it.
Thanks for your time

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

Re: [courier-users] extension to email/localname
OK, now I have to answer myself... :-/ It works only for local accounts and not for aliasses. Is there a way to get this running with an aliass? -- Michelle KonzackMiila ITSystems @ TDnet GNU/Linux Developer 00372-54541400 signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot___ courier-users mailing list courier-users@lists.sourceforge.net Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
