Ouch, not good! Firstly, it sounds like something more than just the links in 
/usr/admserv have gone screwy.
When you go to the GUI and the Site Management, are there ANY hosts in there, 
or does it give u a message like 'No sites found' ?
If No sites found, then it probably means your Postgresql database isn't 
running.
So check that first, make sure there is a process running like this:
ps ax |grep postmaster
 1160 ?        SN     0:18 /usr/bin/postmaster

This is the postgresql database server up and running on my RaQ4 here.

If its not running, try to start it with :
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start


ok, now onto the problem that no symlinks are in 
/usr/admserv/html/.cobalt/siteManage/

To restore those, a little bit of perl will work, use this script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

require Cobalt::Layout;
require Cobalt::Admserv;
require Cobalt::Vsite;
require Cobalt::Meta;
use Cobalt::Product;

foreach my $vhost (Cobalt::Vsite::vsite_list()) {
     next unless ($$vhost[1]);
         my $fqdn = $$vhost[1];
         my ($group) = Cobalt::Meta::query("type"  => "vsite",
        "keys"  => ["name"],
        "where" => ["name", "<>", "default",
        "and", "fqdn", "=", "$fqdn"]);
         next if($group eq "home");
         if($group) {
                 warn "creating admserver pages for group: $group sitename: 
$fqdn\n";
                 Cobalt::Layout::layout_siteManage($group, $fqdn);

Cobalt::Admserv::admserv_set_access(qq[$AdminPages_dir/siteManage/$group],'require', 
'group', $group);
                 unlink("$AdminPages_dir/siteManage/$fqdn") if (-l 
"$AdminPages_dir/siteManage/$fqdn");
         
symlink("$AdminPages_dir/siteManage/$group","$AdminPages_dir/siteManage/$fqdn");
         } else {
                 warn "unkown fqdn: $fqdn or group: $group\n";
         }
}



(Let me know if you can't execute this and i'll put it on my site for 
download.)

The no-relaying problem sounds like its lost email settings. after postgresql 
is definately running, go in and check settings for each domain, then the 
main settings for email in Control Panel > parameters.

hopefully that'll get you started...
