Domain catchall account in zimbra.

If you want to set up an account “all@unixsurgeon.com” to catch all any mail not delivered to existing users in the domain “unixsurgeon.com”, you can configure the account as a domain catchall.

If the users “admin@unixsurgeon.com”, “webmaster@unixsurgeon.com”, and “nobody@unixsurgeon.com” don’t exist, and mail arrives for them, it will be delivered to the catchall account “all@unixsurgeon.com”. This will increase the amount of spam delivered, and can lead to being blacklisted.

[root@p-root]# su – zimbra
[zimbra@mp-root]$ zmprov modifyAccount all@unixsurgeon.com zimbraMailCatchAllAddress @unixsurgeon.com

To remove the catchall from an email account, unset the catchall address:

[root@p-root]# su – zimbra

[zimbra@p-root]$ zmprov modifyAccount all@unixsurgeon.com zimbraMailCatchallAddress “”

Enjoy Linux… !!!!
