First - thanks for the great program! Using it on two servers and running great!

I have catchall accounts enabled for a couple of domains and I use these email addresses to see who spams me.
I set up one for my teenager years ago to download music, now get a couple hundred emails a day.
I want this email address to be sent to a blackhole (I never see it)
I followed the tutorial for adding devnull to postfix, but no luck.

So the email I want to blackhole would be something like:
spiralfrog@example.com (with example.com being my actual domain - so cannot black list it)

Thanks in advance and thanks for your hard work and dedication!

Set the user's per-user transport to "discard" [without quotes] in your MySQL Database and all incoming mail should automatically get discarded

I am assuming in the mailbox table - add username (email@iwannadrop.com) and set transport field to discard.

Just to be sure wink

Yes. Reference:

Quick update - this doesn't seem to be working. I think that the catchall email is overriding the blackhole transport discard rule.

It doesn't make sense. mailbox account will be queried before catch-all account.
