[cobalt-users] [RAQ3] Email Server Alias Problems

[mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi

I'm having a problem setting up email server aliases on a RAQ3.  This is
the RAQ4 feature which was back-ported to the RAQ3 in OS release 5 or
something.  What I'm after is having the mail from domain.co.uk going
through to domain.com.  This is what I have done so far...

1. I have set up the www.domain.com site on the RAQ3 with a catchall address.

2. I have both domains configured in a DNS (on a different machine) but
have set the MX record for the .co.uk version pointing at the .com.

3. In the GUI I have put "mail.domain.com, mail.domain.co.uk" in the
"Email Server Alias" field which is accepted and stored OK.

4. Send a message to an address at the .co.uk and I get the following kind
of return message from the server....

> The original message was received at Wed, 14 May 2003 15:49:07 +0100
> from localhost [127.0.0.1]
>
>   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
> <mitch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
>
>    ----- Transcript of session follows -----
> 553 mail.domain.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)
> 554 <mitch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>... Local configuration error

I've looked through the /etc/virtusertable and everything seems correctly
configured in there.  We've also tried various combinations of DNS setup,
but we've never had this working.

Is anyone successfully using this feature on a RAQ3?

TIA
