[cobalt-users] # catch-all aliases in virtusertable messing with mailman



I recently updated my raq3 with the os and security patches available from cobalt and I've
noticed in my virtusertable a new section has been added: # catch-all aliases

It appears email messages sent to non-existing users in any of the virtual hosts on my
system are sent messages back to the senders as 'user unknown'. Ok, that makes sense.
Problem is, Mailman doesn't require a user account to be establish in order to work. So
mail sent to my mailman mailing lists are being returned as 'user unknown' to the senders.

So I comment out the one line catching all aliases for the virtual site mailman resides on
and the mailing list works again. Great! The weird thing is, I make the change and maybe 6
hours later the virtusertable is replaced with the original list, removing my the
uncommented line.

I can't seem to find where/when/why this is happening.

Anyone have an idea?

Cary.
