Have a look in the Administration Guide on p. 128. Should answer this for you.

ok that should be the right config, but the test is not well.
my smtpd.cfg looks like:

########################


CATCH @builder.com failedaddr@builder.com

# extra rules added to prevent open relay usage
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *@*@*
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *%*
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *!*
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *#*@*

#######################

if i send an message to an unknown user i get the following message:

###########
----------------------------- ERROR REPORT ----------------------------- Message could not be delivered to the following recipient:

/ internet
DDT1=RFC-822; DDV1=qaywsx@builder.com;

because: 'Recipient name not found at destination' [OM 9300]

Supplementary Information:

550 5.1.1 <qaywsx@builder.com>... User unknown



The message was forwarded to the local Error Manager:
sxadmin / builder/CN=sxadmin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
###########

p.s.
the smtpd was restarted!!

read the wiki on how to configure catch all account that will do for you.

Remember that the SMTP relay will only listen for incoming mail from the internet, this method will not trap mail that is sent from a local workstation. I suspect this is what you were trying to do here. Make sure you are testing from an outside mail server, and see what the results are.

[stony007_de]

ahh ok...
that was the problem!!

can i configure it, for the internals, too?

[Valerion]

Mmm ... I think sendmail is your best bet then. Take out the CATCH in smtpd.cfg and put a redirect in sendmail that points back to an address inside Scalix. You will have to spend a bit of time on Google to get that to work, but I remember the virtusertable being capable of this, at least.
