Re: [cobalt-developers] email catchall accounts

["Steve Rogers" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Herb,

I have tried turning off the catch all and then did the following.

set up 4 alias email names, 1 being the actual user name.

sent 4 email  - 1 to each name.

All got rejected as unknown user - except the actual user name, ie. it seems
not to be taking any notice of the alias names.

If I put back the catch all , nothing goes to the users email account
?????????

It is actually defined as testdom.com.

Any Ideas,

Steve
