[cobalt-users] Problem: virtusertable doesn't accept user.name@xxxxxxxxxx loginid

["Kostas Papadopoulos" <kpapad@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear friends, I'm having the same problem
and can't seem to find a way to put a DOT (.)
in the mappable address in
/etc/mail/virtusertable of sendmail.

user.name@xxxxxxxxxx   loginid

Any help will be appreciated.

are you trying to edit virtusertable by hand? if yes, search
kb.cobaltnet.com
for virtusertable and follow the instructions given to rebuild the map.

% is there a special form to enter the user name (firat.last@domain) in the
% virtusertable?

generally, the entries in virtusertable are of the form:

alias	   loginid

an example in your case would be:

user.name@xxxxxxxxxx   loginid
