I do this all the time. It's just an alias: add this entry to aliases.tab "domain.com" "steve.*" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
If you have a catchall address like this: "domain.com" "*" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Then the entry for steve should appear prior to the catchall one. The forwarding with wildcards forwards to the first address that matches in the aliases.tab file - of course aliases.tab gets checked only after checking for an existing mailbox for the user. It works for forwarding the mail to an address not handled by the local xmail server as well. -Seth -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rob Arends Sent: Sunday, June 15, 2003 6:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [xmail] Accepting mail for wildcard users. Hi Everyone, I have had a request to accept mail for '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' At the moment the user Steve has a number of aliases in the form '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', where 'junk' is a unique name for different web sites that he registers with. He would like to be able to have one alias rather than one for each website. Has anyone tried this.? I don't think a filter would work because the message would fail the anti-relay rules (ie. user not found) before it got to a filter. Ideas, comments ?
