dear I know this is not a good idea but this is for an internal server
in order to auto-create mailboxes.
A script parse the catch-all mailbox and create the appropriate mailbox
THe behavior is when i send mail to [email protected] the catch-all
take the hand and all mails are transfered to it [email protected]
Which then creates the [email protected] mailbox?
If so, and if I understand correctly, after [email protected] was
created and someone wants to send a mail to this new account but
mis-types the address, for example [email protected], the (potential)
recipient won't get the message but rather the account [email protected]
will be created. Moreover, the sender won't be notified that he sent
mail to a non-existent address.
so i have 2 choices :
enable catch-all but all mail going trough the catch-all mailbox
disable catch-all and forgot the script...
No, you have more choices. Among them are
3. Instead of a catch-all, use a single fixed account for sending
mailbox creation requests to in combination with + addressing.
For example, use [email protected] as the account requests are sent
to, and, if you want to create the [email protected] account, send a
mail to [email protected].
4. Choose from the many mail management solutions that already exist.
