RE: [cobalt-users] How can I configure Raq4 mail to use blacklists?

["David Crocker" <dcrocker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Zeffie, thanks.

Does the cobalt.mc file on your site generate the line to include the majordomo
aliases file? I can't find any references to majordomo aliases in there, so how
can I add it? Can I added another "define ALIAS_FILE" line, or can I change the
existing one to use 2 alias files?
