Thank so much for your reply, CJ, but my problem is different ...

when I receive such notice messages, the domain is correct, the user is
wrong ... I don't receive messages about wrong domain (luckily) ... :(

I don't know how to solve this issue ...

do you have any solutions?

Thx a lot,
Tony.

<p>It sounds like you might be seeing the same problem I had a while back.
I'm sure it was due to a misconfiguration on my part, but I did come up
<br />with a workaround (and probably still have the misconfiguration).
<br />
<p>Anyway, I was accepting mail for a given domain, and assigned a few
<br />aliases to that domain but didn't have a generic "@domain.com" entry in my
<br />aliases file.&nbsp; To me, it looked like courier was then accepting email for
<br />any address at the domain and then it bounced it around a bunch until it
<br />ended up in the postmaster inbox as you describe.&nbsp; My workaround was to
<br />put...
<br />
<p><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@domain.com:& nbsp; reject</tt>
<br />
<p>...in the aliases file.&nbsp; There is no "reject" user, so courier bounces the
<br />message at the smtp transaction with an "unknown user" error rather than
<br />accepting it.
<br />
<p>The missing "@domain.com" alias entry might actually be the original
<br />misconfiguration, I need to go back and rtfm myself ;)
<br />
<p>I hope this helps.
