Sorry, I don't know postfix very well other than reading docs on how to get it installed. Unfortunately I never got further than that. Wish I could answer better, but alas I cannot.

RE: [courier-users] catch all email
This can be done quite easily with a .qmail-default file. You can find out more info from just about any Qmail beginners tutorial (look at www.qmail.org for a link).

Re: [courier-users] catch all email
So this will actually still send the mail to valid users only? It just seems that all email at that domain will come to me regardless if it is valid or invalid with that alias. If it is that easy I will add it to the alias file. Thanks!

One way to do this, if you have a database, is to make the forwarding rule just slightly more complex. I.e. write a program that checks for the existance of the user against the authdaemon or database. If it fails, write the message locally, and if it successeds deliver. I'm not sure how complex this is. -- The 5 year plan: In five years we'll make up another plan.
