Yes, it's a bug in the RaQ4 OS. When you create new sites it
doesn't add them to the "Relay for the following Hosts/Domains"
list. You have to manually add _each_ domain through the GUI
(control panel --> email parameters).

Don't enable FrontPage for any other websites (it doesn't work,
and your customers will hate you), and it reports disk quotas
as "unlimited". You'll also receive dozens of false active
monitor warnings (ironically, only with FrontPage sites)

And don't setup any RaQ4 sites that require CGI; sendmail simply
does not work for any formmail scripts, and apparently there is
a problem with sendmail also shutting down/restarting properly.

Incidently, Cobalt has know about these problems since August
(and possibly even sooner), but they have failed to address
them. The question begs to be asked: why?
