Topic: catch-all account not working in iRedMail-0.8.1

==== ==== Provide required information ====
- iRedMail version and backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): iRedMail-0.8.1 LDAP backend
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: CentOS 6.2
- Any related log? Log is helpful for troubleshooting.
====

I try to configure catch-all account in iRedMail but it seem not working. Below is my ldap entry...

dn: mail=@xxx.tld,ou=Users,domainName=xxx.tld,o=domains,dc=xxx,dc=tld
accountstatus: active
cn: catch-all
mail: @xxx.tld
mailForwardingAddress: test@xxx.tld
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
objectclass: mailUser
sn: catch-all
uid: catch-all

This is virtual_alias_maps for my /etc/postfix/main.cf

virtual_alias_maps = proxy:ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap/virtual_alias_maps.cf, proxy:ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap/virtual_group_maps.cf, proxy:ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap/virtual_group_members_maps.cf, proxy:ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap/catchall_maps.cf, proxy:ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap/sender_login_maps.cf

The last map is not used at all, please remove it.

LDIF data looks fine, could you please paste whole content of file /etc/postfix/ldap/catchall_maps.cf here to help troubleshoot?

Also, verify your catch-all account with below commands:

# cd /etc/postfix/ldap/
# for cf in $(ls *.cf); do echo $cf; postmap -q 'non-exist@domain.ltd' ldap:./$cf; done

Replace 'non-exist@domain.ltd' by a non-exist email address of your domain, then paste output message here to help troubleshoot.

As you can see, catchall_maps.cf returns correct catch-all account: test@xxx.tld. So your catch-all account is working as expected. smile

Re: catch-all account not working in iRedMail-0.8.1

But when I send email to my others email account it did not send a copy of the email to test@xxx.tld? Any idea?

Do these mail accounts exist or not?

Catch-all is used to catch emails which sent to non-exist mail accounts.

Re: catch-all account not working in iRedMail-0.8.1

A@domain.tld, B@domain.tld and test@domain.tld is a real account that exist in the ldap directory. I want everything send to A and B to be availbale in test@domain.tld account. Is that what catch-all option do, right?

Re: catch-all account not working in iRedMail-0.8.1

This is what BCC does, not catch-all. Catch-all is used to catch emails which sent to non-exist mail accounts.
So please configure per-user BCC settings for A@, B@ instead.

Re: catch-all account not working in iRedMail-0.8.1

Oh...I think I make a mistake on the definition of catch-all account. Is there a way to set globally to forward all domain email to 1 specific email?
Let say manager want to have a copy of all the email currently in the domain for viewing...

Re: catch-all account not working in iRedMail-0.8.1

Do the BCC just forward received mail? Do you forward sent mail too?

Yes, this is per-domain BCC setting.

Postfix has two parameters: sender_bcc_maps, recipient_bcc_maps. One for outgoing emails, another for incoming emails.

If you have iRedAdmin-Pro installed, you can manage per-domain BCC in domain profile page, under tab "BCC". Screenshot for your reference:
