How to set up a catch-all e-mail address

I've searched the forums and the VM manual, but couldn't find any info about how to set up a catch-all e-mail address.

P.S. It would be nice to have an advanced search feature for the forums.

Edit Mail Aliases -> Create Mail Alias

check --> All mailboxes

If the default aliases are going to the same person you can remove those -- if they are going to different email accounts then leave them. The catchall will catch what is left.

<b>ALSO catchalls are [color=#FF0000]DISCOURAGED[/color]</b>

because spammers use dictionary attacks and all email will accepted causing massive server load for spam and virus checking that is why it's not documented.

<b>NOTE</b> !!! To any future reader -- Catchall email addresses are [color=#FF0000]NOT recommended for any reason[/color].

Please do not do this and then come here to complain about massive spam and/or virus'. I will ignore you if you do and most likely everyone else will too.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Post edited by: sgrayban, at: 2008/02/19 05:42
