Default [SOLVED] Post Office

Does Zimbra keep emails that are sent to an address that does not exist on the server? i.e. when the domain is accurate, but the local-part isn't.

Our Exchange server had a "post office" that these kinds of emails went into.

(And yes, this is still stemming from the disaster I mentioned in my "When is a feature not a feature" post. A DJ found an alias that's been missing for a month and he wants his lost "listener feedback" back.) ><

No, it does not do that by default. WHat you are describing is also known as a 'catchall account' and is an ideal target for spam - I would strongly advise against doing it. If you really want to implement that you should search the wiki for 'catchall', did I already mention you'll get a lot of spam in there?
