Alias Issues

[Kevin Murphy-2]

Hello,

I'm running Courier 0.59, hosting a handful of domains.

I appear to be having some issues dealing with aliases, and I'm hoping maybe someone can set me straight.

In /etc/courier/aliases I have the following files:

system
domain1
domain2
domain3... etc

There are 2 distinct issues going on... 

Issue 1:

In one "domain" file I'll have a line like this:

user@...: user@...

When I run "makealiases -chk" I get: "550 Remote Address."

However, "makealiases -dump" shows

user@...: user@...

Yet when I try to send mail to "user@..." I get "550 User <user@...> unknown"


Issue 2:

I just attempted to subscribe to this Sourceforge mailing list and received an error about not having a postmaster account for the domain I attempted to subscribe under.  However, in another of those alias files I have a line like this:

postmaster@...: user@...

Where domain2 and domain3 are all locally hosted domains.  In this case as well, "makealiases -dump" shows the postmaster alias exactly as I specified it in the alias file, yet I still get "550 User unknown" errors.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

You did not post the actual contents of your configuration files, but rather
paraphrased their contents and replaced them with randomly-generated labels
such as "domain2.com" and "domain3.com".

alias expansion is controlled by a number of configuration files besides the
aliases file, such as locals, hosteddomains, default, and me. Without seeing
their actual contents, no further help is possible.
