There's nothing wrong. And mailing something to the alias will invoke the  
executable.

You will find a .courier-:xalias subdirectory in courier's etc/aliasdir  
directory, with this delivery instruction. makealiases maintains this  
directory.

The aliasdir directory is documented in the dot-courier man page. An alias  
to an executable is implemented by pointing the alias to a specific .courier  
file.
