View Full Version : forwarding a catchall off the box

I cannot find any way to forward a catchall off the server to an outside address.

Please let me explain. I currently have many customers who fit this scenario:

Joanne is an aol subscriber and has an email account at joanne@aol.com.

She doesn't have an email client on her machine, and she doesn't want one, or want to learn how to use one; she just uses aol email for everything.

She uses her address, joanne@aol.com all over her site, but she wants to get all email that anyone sends to her at any address at her domain, example.com.

Currently, using either Plesk or Cobalt servers (both of which I currently run) I can create a catchall to send to her aol account.

I can't figure out how to do it on DirectAdmin. Nor can I set a catchall to a forwarder, or to an autoresponder.

How can I give her the service she needs, wants, and currently has, when I switch to DirectAdmin?

Thanks.

Enabling off-server catch all addresses will be enabled the next time DirectAdmin updates (v1.1).

One thing you could do is just create an e-mail forward to her aol account from all her e-mail account. -Jason

I tried, Jason, and it doesn't work.

I'm looking forward to 1.1 :) .
