Re: [cobalt-users] Postmaster emails disappearing

["Roy A. Urick" <roy.urick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

actually, I think I found part of the problem several hours ago. when I use
pine, I find the emails in the admin inbox. They arent being forwarded like
I specified in the GUI. Or is that ONLY for alert messages?

If so (stupid if it is) how do I set the admin emails (admin/postmaster/etc
to forward to a real account??

oh, and its a raq 4r
