RE: [cobalt-users] CGI - Sendmail problem

[Paul Steele <PaulS@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just ran into something similar. The DNS and MX records for my raq3 are
handled by another in-house server, projecta.com. The name of my Raq3 is
(for example) raq3.projecta.com. You might try the following, it fixed the
same error for me:

Log into the raq server as admin.
control-panel -> email server "parameters"
under host/domain aliases remove projecta.com
from the textbox, it's a small box with a big list of domains.

It thinks that it is the email server for projecta.com, so it was unable to
email me since, youremail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx doesn't exist on the raq3.

I am a newbie, so I hope that makes sense to you.

I think you need to put a forward slash "/" in front of the @ in the email
address.  Just something I remember about a similar error
I had a few weeks ago.
