Re: [webmin-devel] Re: [webmin-l] Generics Table / Wild Card?

[last f. <xx_...@ms...>]

i finally got around to altering the M4 file to add this line to try and get 
the generics table to work
FEATURE(`genericstable', `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable.db')dnl

now Virtualmin adds a new record to the
https://IP-Number:10000/sendmail/list_generics.cgi file

and e-mails that are sent from squirrelmail appear to come From: 
use...@cu...d which is just what i wanted

however, there is this note at the bottom of the Webmin genericstable page
>>>you must have an entry in the outgoing domains table for each domain 
>>>which there are addresses you want outgoing mapping done for<<<

but Virtualmin doesn't add any entries to 
https://IP-Number:10000/sendmail/list_cgs.cgi and i'm not sure what format 
any entries should be in

do i need to manually edit this file or is it something Virtuamin will do if 
its needed later

Regards
