Re: [cobalt-users] AtDot config probs. Help.

["Brian Busche" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am using AtDot but I do not let users add their own mail account.  They
must email the request to me and I add them through the Cobalt GUI for that
domain and specify the max storage, password, etc.  Then I send the user an
email with a link to the Atdot cgi they need to log into the mail account
via the web.  They can send mail through my AtDot but there are some weird
characters that come through in the body of the message, looks like it' not
formatted correctly.

It's a crude work-around but effective.  Saves you the head-ache of
re-inventing the wheel.

P.S.  Beware of users who bail on their email session before all the mail
has been completely downloaded to their browser,  Seemed to cause a run away
process on my RAQ that just kept looping and thrashing my hard drive for
three hours.
