Re: [cobalt-users] Mail Forwarding

["Jason Braverman" <jason@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Whenever I try to do that on the raq2 in the web area that asks for
FORWARDING:  it gives me an error saying that

someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,\username  is not a valid email and that a valid email
looks like someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
