catchall account

Dear all,

i would like to inquire on how to set up acatchall account on SunOne Messaging 5.2.

Someone told me that this can be done by putting*@domainInQuestion as an alternate address for one of the users but this did not work.

Also, i tried to put@domainInQuestion as analternate email address for one of the users but this did not work either.

please advise on how this can be done.

regards

pl check: http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6018-10/domains.htm#29770Note This procedure can only be used in system that uses direct LDAP for mail routing. If your system uses dirsync, this procedure will not work.

there was a bugfix concerning the catchall attribute in 5.2p1. Read the bugfix list at http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6456-10/index.html#73636bugid is 4659265 haven't tried it though (having switched my system to "accept only emails defined in the ldap")
