Re: [cobalt-developers] email catchall accounts

["Steve Rogers" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Herb,

the following is set up

DNS
testdom .com   <A> record to IP address with reverse ON
www.testdom.com <A> record to IP Address no reverse
mail.testdom.com <A> record to IP Address no reverse
<MX> record for testdom.cm to mail.testdom.com

Mail Server
Email/Host Alias
testdom.com


if I remove testdom.com from the email server I get a relay denied error.

I am going to have a look at the virtusertable for some inspiration.


Steve.
