Re: [cobalt-users] I got a User Unknown for a valid e-mail address... any ideas why?

[Keith Fernandez <keith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes they work, even this id works, its only sometimes that this problem 
occurs,
I am assuming that when the /etc/mail/aliases file is getting rebuilt, it 
cannot find the user.
My domain name is mail.w-o-i.com and the email alias is w-o-i.com

So a dig mail.w-o-i.com will show the record.
or a dig mx w-o-i.com will also show the mail exchanger record.

Keith
