Is there a way to catch all incoming emails to unknown email addresses?

For example, i only have sales@mydomain.com set up. But if someone sends a message to help@mydomain.com or some other unknown address, Id like to capture those emails into a general box.

Is this possible?

In Scalix 9, this is only possible through a trick; you'll need to configure your domain as relay accept in smtpd.cfg for the SMTP relay, i.e.

RELAY accept mydomain.com

This will tell the SMTP relay to relay all Internet addresses unknown in the Scalix directory; it will relay it to sendmail. Within sendmail, you can setup a catchall configuration through your virtusertable or your LUSER_RELAY.

In the next major Scalix release, currently in LR and planned for release for mid-Q1/2006, this will be easier, as there is a catchall option within smtpd.cfg.

hope this helps.
