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

["Paul Duffield" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A foot in both camps...

When I had a VISP arrangement on a RaQ3 a catch all of @domain.com worked
fine. Aliases and a catch all together didn't.

however @domain.com on the new Raq4 doesn't work. but @www.domain.com does
...Hmmm ?

I seem to recall that the Raq manual states that you can have a catch all
and aliases ?
