I don't have a RaQ3, so please bear with me. :)

Have you tried merely adding such aliases? I'm not sure what the Cobalt
GUI imposes for limitations, but I have users with email aliases
(through the virtusertable) in 15 domains. Sendmail didn't even blink...
I don't think it cares.

Try it and see what happens. Then if it won't let you do it, you'll have
logs and things that we can use to try to figure the problem out.

I am sure hacking the virtusertable would work, I have done it with FreeBSD
on my existing servers, but we have moved to Cobalts and I need my office
staff (no unix experience!) to be able to put things in from the Cobalt
GUI - that way they can't do too much damage!

The Cobalt GUI won't allow email aliases outside the user's domain. I found
a Cobalt FAQ (441) that said 'adjust' the script, but this doesn't seem to
apply to the RAQ3 scripts :(

P.S. Apologies to all for the sig - our smtp server puts in on
automatically!
