catch-all AND forward

[Raybdbomb]

Hi-

I'm using QmailAdmin via toaster and I see an option to do catch-all for an e-mail address on a domain, and I see an option to do forward from an e-mail address to another e-mail address, but you can't simultaneously do both.  Is there a way to have a domain catch-all and forward?

Thanks

nevermind, i found it.

Please, oh please, tell us how?

I thought I had correctly set virtualdomains like
  aliasdomain.com:realdomain.com
which used to work on my old qmail server.

Is there some other configuration setting getting in the way, precluding this?  Something like "if there is no mailbox, bounce"?

If so, how could I use both options?  I would like to forward all aliasdomain mail to realdomain, but if there is no such mailbox in realdomain, bounce it.

it's in qmail admin.  you can set an e-mail address to forward to mailto:X@Y.com" target="_blank">X@Y.com, then click catch-all.

I don't think that will do quite what I need, which is:

mailto:me@aliasdomain.com" target="_blank">me@aliasdomain.com    --> mailto:me@realdomain.com" target="_blank">me@realdomain.com
mailto:boss@aliasdomain.com" target="_blank">boss@aliasdomain.com  --> mailto:boss@realdomain.com" target="_blank">boss@realdomain.com
mailto:nobody@aliasdomain.com" target="_blank">nobody@aliasdomain.com --> mailto:nobody@realdomain.com" target="_blank">nobody@realdomain.com --> bounce

Does this no longer work for you?
AFAIK it does -- its how I have things setup

No.  I have discovered that
mailto:ray@aliasdomain.com" target="_blank">ray@aliasdomain.com will deliver to mailto:postmaster@realdomain.com" target="_blank">postmaster@realdomain.com if I have default catchall set to postmaster, but it bounces if there is no default catchall at realdomain.com.

How can I get realdomain.com to accept delivery of the forwarded mail, both to real mailboxes and to forwarders?

Did you figure out this issue?

I am having the same problem

I want mail from

mailto:User@abc.com" target="_blank">User@abc.com to go to mailto:User@def.com" target="_blank">User@def.com but instead it's going to the {catchall}@def.com

Thanks

What a goofball I am.  Even after having responded to this (with the wrong answer) -- I never realized for all this time that it wasn't working.

Remove anything but the REAL domain from virtualdomains and then use:

root:red|5:16:19am|~vpopmail/bin: ./vaddaliasdomain
vaddaliasdomain: usage: [options] real_domain alias_domain
options: -v (print version number)
note: for backward compatability, you can swap real_domain and alias_domain.



that will do it up properly.  Seems to work great.

Yes, indeed!  Does just what I wanted.  Thanks!
