As near as I can tell, you are looking for a * alias. You decide what mailbox you want to receive the "catch all" mail, then set up an alias for that mailbox of * - that will send all mail that is not addressed to any valid mailbox to the mailbox you designated. For example, let's say that your domain is foo.bar, and that you want the schmoo mailbox to receive "catch all" mail. In this case, you would need to add a line to the aliases.tab file that looks like this (note that between all quoted strings is an actual TAB character, not just spaces): "foo.bar" "*" "schmoo" Note that if you edit the tab file directly (rather than using an administration tool), you will need to stop xmail before editing it, then restart it afterwards, as the aliases.tab file is indexed. Also, the postmaster account does not automatically act as a "catch all" mailbox, *unless* you assign it the * alias. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
