The domain pc-0004.localarea is not defined as a local domain in Courier.
So, Courier concludes that it's a remote domain and tries to deliver the
mail via SMTP, at which point it is discovered that the MX record for
"pc-0004.localarea" points to the same machine that Courier is running on.

Therefore, there's nowhere to deliver this mail. This is not a local
domain, but the MX records point to the same machine.

thanks Sam.

now I replaced the text in locals and hosteddomains with:
-
localhost
pc-0004.localarea
-
and then no more MX errors..but:

when I try to send a message to giovanna@pc-0004.localarea (my test
mysql virtual user)
courier replies 'user unknown' (see logfile)

It seems like courier wanted to find a system user + $HOME/.maildir
instead reading settings from mysql

any additional suggestions?
thank you again,

Stefano.
