Yes, I fixed that lack of space (two spaces) after googling, and the problem persists.

I have zero interest in using procmail. That requires a lot of reading and learning. The same for mailfilter. I already know a programming language and I have a script that is 99% ready to do the job I need. I used it with qmail almost 20 years ago and it worked handsomely. Plus, my own script will give me 100% control, independently of any ready solution's features or lack thereof. I am not sure about .forward. I don't know how it works. I prefer to do it with a catch-all and script. That's how I did it way back when and I will be a lot more comfortable doing it that way. I just need to have all mail sent to my home bred script, and I will be a happy camper. Now, here is the log with the errors. It seems to complain about the absence of the 'dropbox' user. That makes total sense because there is no dropbox user. That is a leftover from something I copied from a random page that offers the solution I am trying to implement. If anybody knows what the correct configuration is, please let me know. I replaced 'dropbox' with 'mailbot' which is the catch-all account, but that doesn't work either. Then I tried the 'postfix' user and postfix expressly complained about that. Looks like it is verboten. My last attempt was using 'root' and that didn't work either. But I am not sure the problem is just that. Rather, it seems that I am configuring the transport incorrectly, but I don't know how to configure it correctly. It's amazing how many MTA installation recipes shared on the Internet fail when I try them myself. -------------------- 8< -------------------- Jun 25 11:15:14 server postfix/qmgr[2049]: 96C7AF210C: from=< mas...@example.com>, size=337, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 25 11:15:14 server postfix/pipe[2052]: fatal: get_service_attr: unknown username: dropbox Jun 25 11:15:16 server postfix/qmgr[2049]: warning: private/mailbot socket: malformed response Jun 25 11:15:16 server postfix/qmgr[2049]: warning: transport mailbot failure -- see a previous warning/fatal/panic logfile record for the problem description Jun 25 11:15:16 server postfix/master[21038]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/sbin/pipe pid 2052 exit status 1 Jun 25 11:15:16 server postfix/master[21038]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/sbin/pipe: bad command startup -- throttling Jun 25 11:15:16 server postfix/error[2057]: 96C7AF210C: to=< mail...@example.com>, orig_to=<nonexist...@example.com>, relay=none, delay=355, delays=354/1.1/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (unknown mail transport error) Jun 25 11:15:20 server postfix/pickup[2050]: 96C7AF210C: uid=0 from=< mas...@example.com> Jun 25 11:15:20 server postfix/cleanup[2075]: 96C7AF210C: message-id=< 20220625151520.96c7af2...@server.example.com> Jun 25 11:15:20 server postfix/qmgr[2049]: 96C7AF210C: from=< mas...@example.com>, size=337, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 25 11:15:20 server postfix/error[2057]: 96C7AF210C: to=< mail...@example.com>, orig_to=<nonexist...@example.com>, relay=none, delay=0.06, delays=0.05/0/0/0, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (unknown mail transport error) -------------------- >8 -------------------- Thank you for all the help.
