Just to update you...

Had a very helpful email that offered a solution that even a dodo like 
me could understand. For some reason I had a mental block about where 
the email server alias was - it is of course in the GUI  under site 
settings. I was confusing it with an email address alias for some 
stupid reason. Once I was directed to the right location of the GUI I 
could obviously see the missing field and filled it in - for all 150 of 
the sites (I know there are quicker ways, but this was all I could 
manage right now). All seems to be ok :-)

Thanks
