[cobalt-users] Raq3 GUI forward mail doesn't forward cgi sendmail



I just found out that I am not getting cgi sendmail messages forwarded to
another account using the cobalt gui. I'm wondering if this is a bug? Here's
the scenario:

Normal user account for user John. John has a web site on the raq which runs
a cgi script that allows visitors to send comments to John. The script works
fine and sends a message to John@xxxxxxxxx

John doesn't want to possibly risk his password for the John account when
checking his email so he has another account named Doe. Doe also resides on
the same raq, but is in a different virtual site. Note the raq only has one
ip address and several virtual domains.

So John goes into his account through the gui and forwards his email to
Doe@xxxxxxxxxx He then feels that he can check his mail using Doe@xxxxxxxxx
without worry. He in fact gets all mail forwarded from John@xxxxxxxxx, but
all of the sudden, he no longer gets any comments via the cgi script on his
web site. So he ssh into his John account and checks the mail with pine.

Lo and behold! John sees that there are a dozen or so emails from the cgi
script waiting in his inbox. These messages, for some reason, are not being
forwarded to his Doe account.

Now why is that? Is this because the messages are being generated within the
raq and therefore are not being processed via the cobalt gui? If so, what
can I do to get the cgi messages to go to the Doe account without actually
modifying the cgi script?
