Re: [cobalt-users] catch all address

[Debbie Doerrlamm <wkdwich@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OH MY GOD IT WORKED!!!!!

>I just setup a test site and three test users, and the only way I can
>get a catch-all to catch only users that don't exist is by setting up

Its now 4.30 A.. I rebooted the box.. gee it would be nice if the GUI would
say its done.. I waited a half hour.. then tried the site in the browser.. 

All my users came back except for one.. a vacation person.. I don;t care..
he's an autoresponder..

I put an alias in every user..
left the catchall in my user name..
sent a test mail (this user is using a .forward) and only I got the mail..
it should have arrived only at my AOL and ISP addresses.. the catchall
caught all

I removed the catchall.. 
sent the test mail and it arrived in my AOL and ISP boxes. not my user box.
the .forward worked

put the catchall back in my user name and sent the test again.. and...
<bowing to Chris and the email gods>
the .forward worked.. the mail arrived at both my ISP and AOL addresses
<YIPPEE>

Last test was to an unknown user or alias address.. <abc123@domain>
and lo and behold.. the mail showed up in my box.. the one with the catch
all :) :) :)

Now I can go to bed thinking of the work I have to do tomorrow.. make sure
everyone on my domain has the proper .forwards or forward in the GUI then
create aliases and such for all the other domains on the box.. sitting here
for almost 2 weeks now ready to rock and roll..

Thanks everyone for your input :)

OH MY.. hubby gets up for work in 15 minutes.. I better climb in right now..
