[cobalt-users] Re: email catch all does not work correctly

["David Thacker" <Cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gary,

Yes, this is a known bug as you've been told by others.  Mail sent to aliases
is delivered okay, but mail sent to a username is delivered to the user with
the catch-all alias.

The workaround (while awaiting a proper fix from Cobalt) is to simply add the
username as an alias for that user.  So, if you have users Bob and Sue, with
Bob having the catchall alias, simply add the alias Sue to the user Sue.  This
way Sue will get her mail properly, rather than having it go to Bob.

Weird but true...
