IMail - Use a wildcard alias for mail to unregistered users

Product: Version: Platform:
IMail All NT,Win2000,XP,Win2003

Question/Problem: Can I set up a "Catch All" alias for any mail that does not have a valid user id? For instance, I want "anything"@domain.com to go to a certain user mailbox.

Answer/Solution: In IMail Administrator create a Standard Alias named "nobody" on your domain. (In versions before 6.0 do this in IMail User Manager.) Point it to the e-mail address where you want any mail which is addressed to nonexistent users to be delivered.

Note: IMail Express does not support the nobody alias.
