Is this possible? I've tried default, , * and nothing works. Forget qmail. It has nothing to do with catchall account handling. Catchall status is a parameter to the vdelivermail program commonly called in the file .qmail-default. Its legal values are: delete bounce-no-mailbox /path/to/a/Maildir [EMAIL PROTECTED] .qmail-default - !/path/to/vdelivermail '' CATCHALL_OPTION - There is no wildcard support in valias.

I can't believe I actually wrote that. vdelivermail is most definitely involved in catchall delivery. I guess what I was trying to say was that adding a valias for user 'default' won't work. The catchall user must be specified as the second parameter to vdelivermail in the .qmail-default file. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/
[vchkpw] valias catch-all
Hi, I'm trying to use valias to setup a catch-all address. I've tried several different ways and the mail always bounces. Is it possible to setup a catch-all with valias? Is so how? Thanks, Ewan.
