Ok here is the problem. Any email addressed to postmaster@whateverdomainontheserver.com comes to my admin account. Its not a bounce.

If i try to add the postmaster alias to one of the domains, it tells me that address is already in use. I have looked in the passwd file and alias file and there is no postmaster address except for the main domain.


Any ideas?

edit /etc/mail/virtusertable and find the line:

postmaster@www.host4sure.com postmaster

and change the postmaster at the end to "whatever" username.

Make sure you save and then run "newaliases".

No this would only change it to go to one address for all. You would have to mess with /etc/aliases to remove the postmaster account for the server.

I would suggest NOT messing with the postmaster account. Too much SPAM opportunities.

If you really want to, then I would suggest searching the Cobalt user archives...

after looking at the file, I see what you ment, and will make the changes if I need to for some postmaster accounts.

Thanks
