You do need to run the fixsite.pl

It will not break the local-host-names and the virtusertable, they are
already broken.

Do the following:
cd ~admin
wget http://www.precisionweb.net/ken/fixsite.txt
#that is just a copy of Sun's fixsite.pl file
mv fixsite.txt fixsite.pl
chmod 700 fixsite.pl
./fixsite.pl

That will fix your siteadmins.

Then either go back  and re-add the mail server aliases
to all your sites, or follow the steps below adapted from:
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2003-February/086552.html



#the 2 lines below actually add the domain name,
#and then the mail.doamnname back to the /etc/mail/local-host-names
#note there are only 2 lines below so if they are
#wrapped in your display you will need ot recombine them

ls /home/sites/|awk -F '.' ' {if ($0 ~ /www/) {print $2"."$3}}' >>
/etc/mail/local-host-names
ls /home/sites/|awk -F '.' ' {if ($0 ~ /www/) {print "mail."$2"."$3}}'
>>  /etc/mail/local-host-names

#the 2 lines below create the entries you'll need to paste in the the
route section of the virtuesertable
ls /home/sites/ |awk -F '.' ' {if ($0 ~ /www/) {print
"@"$2"."$3"\t%1@www."$2"."$3}}' > /tmp/newvirt
ls /home/sites/ |awk -F '.' ' {if ($0 ~ /www/) {print
"@mail."$2"."$3"\t%1@www."$2"."$3}}' >> /tmp/newvirt

#copy the text from the newvirt file to the route section of the
/etc/mail/virtusertable
cat /tmp/newvirt
pico -w /etc/mail/virtusertable

makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/virtusertable
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart


To prevent this problem in the future,
1. before deleting a site always go to the Site Settings for that site
and click Save. (Also it should not be suspended when you delete it.)

2. Then go back to the Man Menu and delete it.
