Thanks - I will look at these.


It also does use a @ in the aliases file. Does this only work with
virtual users?


I feel like I saw an example once where the '@' catchall address was 
implemented neither in aliases nor in virtusers - there was actually a 2-3 
line configuration *directly inside* smtpd.conf that implemented the '@' 
catchall.

Am I misremembering or is that a possibility - to implement the '@' 
catchall directly inside smtpd.conf without reference to lookup tables or 
virtusers (or aliases) ?


Thanks.
