In the virtusertable file (under /etc/mail on Redhat systems), put in a line
like this:
@foo.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then
makemap hash virtusertable < virtusertable
^^^^
(or dbm or whatever other format you use)
That should do the trick. Anything other than the users specified at
foo.com, will be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See
http://www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html for details.
But from my personal experience let me tell you, although it has its uses,
more often than not, it is a major pain in the behind to have a catch-all
ID. True, your company will not miss an urgent proposal even if the Chinese
guy on the other end has spelt your name wrong. However, a lot of
unnecessary mail will keep popping in too and that is very painful.
Just my 2 paise out of my personal bad experience.
