RE: [cobalt-users] RAQ3: Catch-all email address

so everyone is saying in order for the catch-all email to work you need to
have @www.domain.co.uk as an alias?

the only way a catch-all will work for me is @domain.co.uk

strange.

Not necessarily.  DNS records only get the mail to the computer; once it
gets there they don't do anything.

The alias needs to be "@hostname.webgeek.com", where hostname is
whatever the site's hostname has been set up as.  For most of us, it's
"www".

Doing it any other way is guaranteed to not work.  If you study
/etc/virtusertable, you'll be able to see why.
