This is a simple feature to add a catchall email account to iRedMail.

With default setting, iRedMail will reject emails sent to non-existing mail accounts under hosted mail domains. If you want to accept these emails, you need a domain catch-all account.

• With MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL backend, to add a catch-all account for existing domain example.com, log into the mysql databse:
  

  mysql -u root -p
  

  • And add the following in SQL table vmail.alias:
    

    USE vmail;
    INSERT INTO alias (address, goto, domain) VALUES ('example.com', 'catchall@example.com', 'example.com');
    

This SQL command creates catchall address for domain example.com, all mails sent to non-existing accounts under example.com will be delivered to catchall@example.com.
