I accept mail for many domains.
If the mail is addressed to:
<known_user>@<any_hosted_domain>, I want to deliver the mail to the known_user
If the user is unknown, I want to bounce the eMail.
This is teh defualt behavior.
The exception to this is the domain: abcdefg.com
(not the actual domain name)
Whenever I give my email address to a vendor, I give them:
<vendor>@abcdefg.com
Example:
Amazon knows me as email@hidden
Apple knows me as email@hidden
There are many 100s of @abcdefg.com email addresses that I have given out.
Fine. Best practices would say to create a new local part (the left
hand side of the @ in an email address) mailbox for each, which could
forward to a common mailbox. Likewise you could just use mail aliases
(/etc/aliases) to direct mail for this address to a common user. Also
you could just add shortnames to an existing user account.
Otherwise if you're using wildcard mailboxes then you're going to
incur a great deal of spam, not a good move.
Now for my problem....
I do want to accept all mail sent to: <anything>@abcdefg.com
and forward it to local user: sortme
You probably really don't want to do this. It's a very, very bad idea.
Is there any way to do this in the GUI?
I have tried creating the short name: sortme
with a second short name of: @abcdefg
local user sortme is now getting the mail but is part of an
undeliverable message.
No, that's just woolly thinking.
