[cobalt-users] RAQ3 E-mail Recursion



I'd really be grateful for any advice on the dreaded e-mail recursion.

Here's the story.

I have 11 sites hosted on the RAQ3 all working fine. The domain Millar.org is hosted by another company in the states. This will expire next week so I set up millar.org on the RAQ as per normal. I added all my family as users and changed the dns servers to point to the RAQ (should kick in 48 hours later). As soon as I set up millar.org on the RAQ every domain and user on it gets email recursion. If I switch off accept e-mail for the millar.org domain, it's fine.

at the minute the admin e-mail for the RAQ redirects to pete@xxxxxxxxxxx I looked at etc/virtusertable but it seems fine...no dodgy entries. I couldn't find /etc/mail.aliases as suggested by another RAQ3 user but the other aliases files I found look ok too.

Is it a phenomenon of the site and e-mail being in use at the minute? I set it up already because I thought that I wouldn't lose any mail because the RAQ Millar would catch the other hosts Millar mail as soon as the RAQ Millar came live. It's a real ballacher because Millar is the site and e-mail I need the most.

I had the problem when I initially got the RAQ and was totally in the dark about all this stuff (little bit of light getting through now !!!!!) and just deleted millar.org. That cured the problem but now I do need to set it up. It just seems strange that millar.org is the only site to cause the problem. I have deleted it again and reinstalled it again but still the recursion comes back.

Any advice gratefully accepted.

Regards

Pete
