Hello, All of my mailboxes are virtual, e.g. `al...@example.com` and `b...@example.com`. I would like to set up a catch-all virtual mailbox `catch...@example.com` such that mail sent to any other address `*@example.com` gets sent to `catch...@example.com`.
Here is an excerpt of my config: > == /etc/postfix/main.cf == > mydestination = > virtual_mailbox_domains = example.com > virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_mailboxes > virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_aliases > virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail/virtual > == /etc/postfix/virtual_mailboxes == > al...@example.com example.com/alice/ > b...@example.com example.com/bob/ > == /etc/postfix/virtual_aliases == > @example.com catch...@example.com > al...@example.com al...@example.com ## > b...@example.com b...@example.com ## > postmas...@example.com al...@example.com Notably, the lines marked `##` are *required* for mail delivery to work as expected. If they are omitted, then *all* mail for example.com ends up in the `catch...@example.com` mailbox --- Alice and Bob can't see their mail! Based on [1], my understanding is that the `@example.com` syntax was designed for true mail-forwarding domains, i.e. those where no mailboxes exist, so all mail must be forwarded to one or more other domains. However, my question is whether simpler syntax/configuration exists for partial forwarding such as the internal catch-all behaviour I'm after (or, indeed, just a simpler config for my particular use case) --- is there another way to set this up so that, in future, as more mailboxes are added to the domain, there isn't a need to include a "redundant" alias like `##` for every mailbox besides the catch-all one? Thanks, Jivan [1] Mail forwarding domains: http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#forwarding
