Some idiot is using my server as a forwarding address for all their

a catch-all domain I don't know the actual account.


Short of breaking up in to separate accounts, is there any way to
determine which address the email was actually sent to?

The Delivered-To: header.

I see it, and I'm using one of the recent versions, I think it's a couple of months old, but yes, this shows the account delivered to, not the envelope's MAIL TO, which I need to catch for this.

I have a similar setup as you. Because I needed to get the Delivered-To header, I couldn't use the alias functionality. Instead use a filtering instruction in aliasdir. My <systemdir>/aliasdir/.courier-default has one line like "| preline maildrop -d bayer", where bayer is the user I want all mail sent to. If only want this to work for one domain, I can't help you there. Perhaps this isn't well supported. I wish it was simpler, like Delivered-To was left intact using your message of catchall aliases. I remember at one point in my email history, I was looking at Received headers, not Delivered-To. Perhaps you should have a look at those.


Hope that helps.
