Managing catch-all addresses

============================

catchalladd

-----------

Syntax:

 | **vmm catchalladd** *fqdn destination ...*

 | **vmm caa** *fqdn destination ...*

This subcommand allows to specify destination addresses for a domain, which

shall receive mail addressed to unknown local-parts within that domain.

Those catch-all aliases hence "catch all" mail to  any address in the domain

(unless a more specific alias, mailbox or relocated entry exists).

.. warning::

   Catch-all addresses can cause mail server flooding because spammers like

   to deliver mail to all possible combinations of names, e.g. to all

   addresses between abba\@example.org and zztop\@example.org.

Example:

.. code-block:: console

 root@host:~# vmm catchalladd example.com user@example.org

.. versionadded:: 0.6.0

catchalldelete

--------------

Syntax:

With this subcommand, catch-all aliases defined for a domain can be removed,

Example:

.. code-block:: console

 root@host:~# vmm catchalldelete example.com user@example.com

.. versionadded:: 0.6.0

catchallinfo

------------

Syntax:

 | **vmm catchallinfo** *fqdn*

 | **vmm cai** *fqdn*

This subcommand displays information about catch-all aliases defined for

a domain.

Example:

.. code-block:: console

 root@host:~# vmm catchallinfo example.com

 Catch-all information

 ---------------------

   Mail to unknown localparts in domain example.com will be sent to:

          * user@example.org

.. versionadded:: 0.6.0
