RE: [cobalt-users] catch all address

["Michael Aronoff" <ma@xxxxxxxx>]

You and Chris can disagree with me all you want, but I have it working on 5
different domains on a RAQ3.

Try undoing everything you have done and get all users working again.
Then go into 1 user and add @www.beautytech.com as one of their aliases.
That's all I did and it works just perfectly.  I just tested it again a min
ago.

Hope you get it working for you.

I must have missed that in my excitement for such a quick response.. but
most often I understand if it works on a RaQ2 it will work on the RaQ3, so
what the hey?? I tried it!

OK here goes.. may of the users snipped for obvious reasons.. they all read
the same.. user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [tab] alias

owner-majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx      owner-majordomo_home
majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx    majordomo_home
info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx     info-request
webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx    wkdwich
info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx info-request
@beautytech.com wkdwich
webmaster2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx   wkdwich
smileys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx      smilies
@beautytech.com %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

no response from the cobalt techs yet..

and I agree with Chris here.. I have not added any users.. they are all
there now.. just not getting their mail!!

But I have no MX records and have been told repeatedly that I do not need
them.. This is where my green newbie shows SHINING thru :)
