I used webadmin to move that one domain from the "Local domains" section
to the "Locally hosted domains" section (i.e., from "locals" to
"hosteddomains"). After webadmin did its job, I expected to see an
empty "locals" file in my courier directory. However, webadmin deleted
that file, once it contained no more data.

Will this cause a problem with courier, given your statement that this
file "must" exist? You also said that "me" is used if "locals" doesn't
exist, and therefore, there's an ambiguity that I'm not sure how to
interpret: given that I have a valid "me" file, should I create an empty
"locals" file now, or not?

Also, if "locals" needs to exist, shouldn't webadmin refrain from
deleting it after it becomes empty?

Based on all this, I would guess that a missing "locals" is probably OK,
as long as there is a valid "me" ... but could you confirm that?

Thanks.
