Topic : How to setup catchall email in Webuzo?

Posted By: myleene on April 11, 2015, 2:57 am

I installed dovecot and exim with default settings (from the Webuzo interface).

I then setup an email and set my own domain DNS for it.

I followed these:
webuzo.com/wiki/Add_Email_Account
webuzo.com/wiki/Access_Emails

Receiving and sending email works perfectly.

I currently have a single email: admin@example.com

I would like to setup this email as a catchall email that would be able to receive emails from any account in case the sender makes an error.

Like:
aaa@example.com
bbb@example.com
ccc@example.com

Would all be catched and delivered to admin@example.com.

I followed this: positon.org/catch-all-mail-with-exim

And modified: /usr/local/webuzo/conf/webuzo/exim4.conf.template

Like this:
catchall_example_com:
driver = redirect
domains = example.com
data = admin@example.com

(*) Under "begin routers".

I then restarted exim, tried it from an external email (a gmail email) and it didn't work.

I receive an email mentioning the following: "The error that the other server returned was: 550 Unknown user"

Could you please give me steps on how to setup it?

Thanks in advance.

It Worked! Thanks a lot divij.

For others having a similar requirements, here are the steps I did:

1) Opened /etc/exim/exim.conf

2) Added the following lines:
catchall_example_com:
driver = redirect
domains = example.com
data = admin@example.com
(*) Just under the "localuser:" section under "begin routers".

3) Restarted Dovecot

4) Restarted Exim

(*) I'm not 100% sure if restarting Dovecot & Exim is required.

It then worked perfectly.

By this method, all the mails are being forwarded.
Even when the mailbox for foobar@example.com exists, still it forwards the email sent to that address.

How can I avoid this?

You will have to further tweak the Exim configurations to implement this
