RE: [cobalt-users] Email query

["1st Web Internet Services" <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sure I realise that, but I thought that a 'catch all' would catch all those
emails that did not match any aliases already listed for that domain. So
mervyn and ian would be despatched, but tom would go to ian. And then if a
tom were to be added he would get his mail, which would no longer go to ian.

I will search the archives again, for if Fathi is correct it should be in
the recent months lists. (mind you the list includes a month for 2022!)

Ian.

Think about what you just said.

>>>Ian has ian and @domain.co.uk in his alias box

@domain.co.uk means that any user @domain.co.uk will be delivered to Ian's
mailbox.

Ian,

As Jeff has stated before, yes, it has to do with the RaQ3 and there was a
thread about it a few days ago. However, I don't have a RaQ3 and therefore
haven't archived any solution.

Therefore my suggestion, search CAREFULLY (this word implies a few hours of
work) in the archives, you WILL find a solution (if there was one, but I
think).
