[cobalt-users] Email, virtual domain and virtual users do not work (bad virtuser table?)

["Harald Kubota (Forefront Technologies)" <kubota@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

my Cobalt Raq2 does not recognize the users for email. All email accounts
and aliases get a "User unknown" error. Mailing directly
(accountname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
works though.

I tracked down a (the?) problem in the /etc/virtusertable. The GUI inserts
entries like

usernam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx username
@domain.com %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@www.domain.com error

While this looks nice and correct, either the sendmail does not understand
this rewriting rule, or something else is wrong I don't understand.

Everything works well, if I insert a line like

username@xxxxxxxxxx username

which kind of proves, that I know what makemap is. I am not new to
sendmail or DNS.

Is that a common problem? Is there a better and more userfriendly (speak:
GUI)
way to fix it? Is it just an outdated sendmail?
