Hi all,
(Q1)
I am trying to set up a catch all on our domain so that if any email is spelt incorrect or doesn't exist it will come to lets say admin@example.com.
This is the mysql query I have been trying to use.
# mysql -uroot -p
# mysql> USE vmail;
# mysql> INSERT INTO alias (address, goto) VALUES ('@example.com', 'admin@example.com');
Once running this query it says it is successful but how do you check that the execution actually worked. Can you check this within the vmail/alias table.
I have just been executing the commands with phpmyadmin.
(Q2)
Also at current on our existing domain seperate to this one we can send emails as user1@example.com, user2@example.com, user3@example.com etc and it receives as admin@example.com. Is this a catchall or something different (email spoofing?) is it more like a forward from user1@example.com to admin@example.com. We will need a maximum of 10 emails receiving under the one admin@example.com mailbox. How does this work and can you do it on iRedMail. The reason this is needed is so everyone can receive everyones emails.
Would this work?
# mysql -uroot -p
# mysql> USE vmail;
# mysql> INSERT INTO alias (address, goto, domain) VALUES ('user1@example.com, user2@example.com, user3@example.com', 'admin@example.com', 'example.com');
Need to be able to send as user1@example.com, user2@example.com, user3@example.com.
Thanks for the help in advance.
