EHLO,
I have been setting up virtual hosting accounts with one user. I have been
adding an alias to @domain.com. When I tried to email the account, it would
reject it. I noticed in my /etc/virtusertable that the email addresses read
[admin@ns1 /etc]$ grep domain.com virtusertable
owner-majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx owner-majordomo_site8
majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx majordomo_site8
majordomo-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx majordomo_site8-owner
@domain.com@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx account
@domain.com %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
So I went in the GUI and added a <CR> to the address and it changed it to
this.
[admin@ns1 /etc]$ grep domain.com virtusertable
owner-majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx owner-majordomo_site8
majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx majordomo_site8
@domain.com account
majordomo-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx majordomo_site8-owner
@domain.com %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[admin@ns1 /etc]$
Now everything seems to work right. It seems without the <CR> it is trying
to add another hostname+domain.name to the email address. Interesting. Can
anyone explain what the last line means
@domain.com %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I assume it is used in a script.
I guess the leads to my next concern, is the mailing list accounts / aliases
OK or do I have a problem with these also?
As always, thanks for supporting the list!
Rgds,
