Hi, you just need to add the attribute mailAlternetAddress to the user that you want to catch all the email

mailAlternateAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

After doing that all the email that goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be catched by the [EMAIL PROTECTED] that has the catchall attribute.

also you can use it in this way: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and all the email that goes to user-* will  be catched to the email account that has that attribute, this is useful for using a mailing list just like ezmlm

hope this can give you an idea on the catchall feature, there maybe other ways to use it but this are the ones that I use more frequently

--------

Try to put a catchall to an account that works on your server and it if works then try with your mailing list, also check that /var/ezmlm/lists exists and under that directory it is the name of the list, what i mean is that if /var/ezmlm/lists is the maildir of your list you should have there the .dot files for the mailing list

Ok, here is one account that works well. I even tried sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and a folder named "/var/ezmlm/lists" was created and inside it is its Maildir folder containing the email..


dn: uid=ezmlmboy,ou=people,o=our,dc=domain
-------------------------------------------------------
objectClass: top
objectClass: qmailUser
objectClass: person
mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailAlternateAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
uid: ezmlmboy
accountStatus: active
mailHost: mail2.our.domain
homeDirectory: /var/ezmlm/lists
aliasEmpty: using default
qmailDotMode: dotonly
qmailUID: 1012
qmailGID: 1012
mailQuotaSize: 50000000
mailQuotaCount: 0 (unlimited)
mailSizeMax: 0 (unlimited)
mailReplyText: undefined

Now, on ezmlm-web, I will create a mailing list

List Name: ops
List Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

# ls /var/ezmlm/
.qmail-default                  .qmail-default-owner            lists
.qmail-default-default          .qmail-default-return-default

# ls /var/ezmlm/lists/
Maildir ops

# ls /var/ezmlm/lists/ops/
allow           config          inhost          mailinglist     owner
archive         editor          inlocal         manager         public
archived        headeradd       key             mod             subscribers
bounce          headerremove    lock            outhost         text
bouncer         indexed         lockbounce      outlocal        webnames

Try sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and as you've said, a user with [EMAIL PROTECTED] attribute should catch this email...

starting delivery 2: msg 9703434 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
@4000000043d9bd1b0884c74c status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
