[cobalt-users] An Interesting Email Problem



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!
