Re: [cobalt-users] Siteadmin at Raq3

["Mid America" <internet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I may have what you are saying wrong but RAQ2 Has three levels of
administration.   First one is you the owner of the box.  Which is located
at http://www.yourcompany.com/admin   this allows you to do anything
including set up users and sites.    The next one is
http://www.therecompany/siteadmin    This allows the customers to add the
users for there site and it also allows  for them to add emails and aliases.
When you set up the site you determine disk space for the site and how many
users view stats and all that stuff.  Third is the user themselves
http://www.therecompanyname.com/personal/  This allows the user to change
passwed and forward mail to somewhere else this is a great way to do things
wish I could have designed it myself.
