Cool QMAIL routing inbound messages per user

Qmail

I have a problem, I own (and have read) the qmail handbook. I have read the FAQs. But cannot figure this problem out, I think I must be going mad! Qmail is installed and working well, all outbound and inbound (only maildir delivery for UNIX ids e.g. user "test", mail sent to test@example.com will be delivered to that account).

The problem. I have a domain "example.com" I want all inbound messages to be delivered regardless of addess e.g. jack@example.com fred@example.com to a specific account. NO NDRs..! Also if a user does exist in an account e.g. bloggs@example.com I want the inbound messages delivered to that account.

I am not using an virtualdomain - maybe that is the problem?

Why do I want this? I own the domain and will not always know which addresses are sent to, most of this suff will indeed be junk - however I will extract this stuff via another process later. My concern is not to lose any email.

In advance thank you for your input.

I think you should try using a howto like this one...

http://sylvestre.ledru.info/howto/howto_qmail_vpopmail.php

it's long and drawn-out, but it's got TONS of nice features that make running a mail server much easier. If you opt to install it using these instructions, you can create your aliases using qmailadmin. Otherwise...

http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#extension-addresses

So to make all your incoming messages go to a specificaccount...

echo &specificaccount > ~/.qmail-default

So if I decide to join a mailing list, and I want to use the address... "me-yahoo@mydomain.com" I can create the following file...

echo &anotheraccount > ~/.qmail-yahoo

So if you find that somebody starts spamming you at that address, you can drop off the mailing list and direct anymore messages of this kind into the trash...

echo # > ~/.qmail-yahoo
