It's not very pretty, but you can get domain aliases to work. First you need to set up the aliases in MX Logic. Second, you need to make the MX records for the aliased domains the same as the primary (inbound.primarydomain.com.emailmx.com). Third, and here is where it gets ugly, you need to buy forwarding accounts for every mailbox in each of the aliased domains and forward them to the mail domain account - yuck.
Unfortunately, you can't get catch-alls scanned - it's an architecture thing. The MX Logic system sits between the internet and the mail server and has no knowledge of actual mailboxes. So, if you could set up a catch-all in MX Logic, you would get an unlimited number of mailboxes scanned for the price of one. I can live without protecting the catch-all, but I wish TUCOWS would take the time to add support for domain aliases and multi-box aliases on the email side (i.e. fixing existing products) before wasting time and effort on things like the site builder and blogger products.
