[cobalt-users] email alias doesn't work



Hi, I'm having a problem getting email aliases to work. The username I setup for the site will receive email with no problems, but the alias will not receive emails.

In looking at postings over the past couple months, I've found some postings with the exact same problem. Unfortunately nobody ever posted a solution.

Here is one of those past postings:

######## Begin ####################
Im setting up a raq4 and am having some issues with mail aliases. I have for
example a virtual domain test.com when I set-up an e-mail address say
user@xxxxxxxx this works fine I can send/receive mail.

When I set-up an aliases say alias@xxxxxxxx to go to user@xxxxxxxx it dosnt
work I try sending to that address and it says 'Unknown User'. When I look
at /etc/mail/virtualuserstable I see.. alias@xxxxxxxxxxxx user

If I manually change that to alias@xxxxxxxx user then makemap hash
/etc/mail/virtusertable.db < /etc/mail/virtusertable everything works fine I
can now send to alias@xxxxxxxx

My question is how do I get this working like this through the GUI?
