catch all?

[bangsters]

Hey how do I setup a catch all email?

I've been poking arond and need to create a handful new accoutns for a client and I can't find the option to make an email accoutn as a catchall email

Lookup zimbraMailCatchAllAddress & zimbraMailCatchAllForwardingAddress

can the catchall be set via webgui or it has to be from the console? some of my clients don't have console access.

Vote for: Bug 11009 - expose domain alias zimbraMailCatchAllAddress in admin console ui & Bug 23278 - add catchall and transport configuration to admin gui

Do they have any admin permissions at all? (zimbra admin console gui) You could use soap:

<ModifyAccountRequest>
<id>{value-of-zimbraId}</id>
<a n="...">...</a>+
</ModifyAccountRequest>

Domain Catchall:
If you want to set up an account "user@domain.com" to catch any mail not delivered to existing users in the domain "domain.com", you can configure the account as a domain catchall.

su - zimbra
zmprov modifyAccount user@domain.com zimbraMailCatchAllAddress @domain.com

If the users "john@domain.com", "webmaster@domain.com", and "xyznobody@domain.com" don't exist, and mail arrives for them, it will be delivered to the catchall account "user@domain.com". This will increase the amount of spam delivered, and can lead to being blacklisted. To remove the catchall from an email account, unset the catchall address:

zmprov modifyAccount user@domain.com zimbraMailCatchallAddress ""

yes but my problem is this is done via console. I am the only one with SSH access, as my other clients are only given domain admin privileges. How will that workout? Any suggestion?
