Which then creates the use...@domain.tld mailbox? If so, and if I understand correctly, after use...@domain.tld was created and someone wants to send a mail to this new account but mis-types the address, for example us...@domain.tld, the (potential) recipient won't get the message but rather the account us...@domain.tld will be created. Moreover, the sender won't be notified that he sent mail to a non-existent address. > so i have 2 choices : > > enable catch-all but all mail going trough the catch-all mailbox > > disable catch-all and forgot the script... No, you have more choices. Among them are 3. Instead of a catch-all, use a single fixed account for sending mailbox creation requests to in combination with + addressing. For example, use creat...@domain.tld as the account requests are sent to, and, if you want to create the use...@domain.tld account, send a mail to createmb+use...@domain.tld. 4. Choose from the many mail management solutions that already exist. -- Regards mks
