Catch All on Scalix 11.0.1 CE not working

[easysoft]

Hi,

First off, many thanks for a wonderful product !

I'm using Scalix 11.0.1 CE (upgraded from 10.x) and am trying to setup a catchall or "Redirect account" to handle mail sent to non-existant addresses.

I have looked through the forums and the Admin guide, and it seems all I need to do is add this line to my ~/sys/smtpd.conf and then restart smtpd :

CATCH *@mydomain.org mail@mydomain.org

I have done this, and restarted scalix, but an email sent to :
xyz@mydomain.org
simply bounces with the "User unknown" error.

As requested in a previous thread, heres the output from grep -v "^#" smtpd.cfg | cat -vet :

//---
$
$
$
EXTENSIONS=AUTH,DSN,8BITMIME$
$
$
$
CATCH *@mydomain.org mail@mydomain.org$
$
RELAY accept 127.0.0.1$
RELAY accept .muslimaid.org$
RELAY Log_Reject ALL$
$
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *@*@*$
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *%*$
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *!*$
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *#*@*$
SMTPFILTER=TRUE$
$
[SUBMIT]$
ANONYMOUS Log_Reject ALL$
$
[LMTP]$
LISTEN=localhost:24$
$
//--

The account mail@mydomain.org exists (and is in use).

Any idea why the catchall fails ?

Thanks in advance,

Arif

Thanks for your response Florian,

1)

# lsof -i :25

2) I sent a mail from the root shell account on the same machine to xyz@mydomain.org.

Hope that helps - will try to do further checking on Monday.

Best wishes,

so, the latter is the problem. when you use the mail command, it talks directly to the sendmail binary and bypasses omsmtpd; therefore, catchall doesn't work. It will work, however, for emails coming in externally. When you need catchall also for shell-level email on the server, you have to setup catchall via virtusertable or luser_relay features in sendmail.

Thanks Florian !

That was it - sending from a normal Mail client works fine - sorry for the trouble.

Best wishes,
Arif
