[cobalt-users] Re : RaQ3 email alias problem (David Lynch)

["Cobalt" <wylim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For the admin alias problem, you'll need to edit the virtusertable file in
/etc directory using root.
Inside this file you'll see some entries like this

admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx    admin

Search for the domain entry e.g. admin@xxxxxxxxx and delete it away.
(NOTE : do not delete your server domain admin entry.)
Save the file and exit telnet.
Go back to Web interface and save the domain admin aliase again. It should
work.

Don't worry "Cobalt OS Release 5.0" comes with the Cobalt installation
itself.
