So ... there is no way to accomplish this using the Cobalt GUI?

or will adding the domains into the DNS on the box accomplish 
this?

Box is a RaQ2.

if hacking into the code is the only way.....
as for adding to the virtusertable.... the new ?redirects?would be at 
bottom of the existing list? after the comment --> 
# Put custom additions below (Do not change/remove this line)
@6pack.com %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@six-pack.com %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ........etc.

and not being over versed on the nuances of of restarting 
sendmail...or other command line operations what would the 
command be?  

I'm a user not a programmer.
