[cobalt-users] Mail to admin users on RaQ 550



I have a basic question about email configuration through the RaQ 550 GUI; apologies if this is really obvious, but I've looked through lots of archives and support documents and am still not sure I understand it.

The question: Is it possible, using the RaQ 550 GUI (or other properly-supported means that won't interfere with the GUI) to create an email alias on a virtual site that is independent of the users that have been created on that virtual site?

For example: I have a RaQ 550 (raq.example.org) which hosts several virtual sites (www.domain-1.org, www.domain-2.org, etc.). I have my own server administrator account (lang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) which successfully receives email. I would like to get mail that is sent to "lang@xxxxxxxxxxxx" and "lang@xxxxxxxxxxxx" to end up in that server administrator account.

The only way I can see to do this through the GUI is to create myself a a user account in the "www.domain-1.org" virtual site (e.g. named "lang2"), add the alias "lang" for the user, and then set up mail forwarding for the user.

This seems really wasteful and it's very tedious to set up for many domains. Is there a simpler way? I really really don't want to do anything incompatible with the GUI, so I'd rather not edit /etc/aliases (or whatever) unless I can be sure it's a safe and supported procedure.

Thanks for any insight.

Al.
