Yes, I used /usr/sbin/adduser to create an account named catchall.
And if I send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , the e-mail does appear in /var/mail/catchall Does anyone out there know how to tinker with the configuration of incoming mail on FreeBSD ?? -Dan On 8/20/06, Greg Groth < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Do you have a user on your system defined as "catchall"? I don't think that you can mail directly to a file from virtusertable. You might be able to do this if you define an alias for catchall in the aliases file, or you could add a user "catchall" set for /usr/bin/nologin.
