Set up a "catchall" account in Squirrelmail

[jandafields]

I would like to setup a mailbox in squirrelmail that receives all mail going to non-existant accounts, sometimes referred to a "nobody" account.

 

How can I do this?

First create an account in cpanel, then set that newly created account as your default account (also in cpanel) That way any unrouted mail (mail not sent to an actual e-mail address you have set up) will go to that account.

Exactly what I needed! Thanks a lot.

Just don't forget to check that accoutn regularly and delete the unwanted messages. Also, if you discover at some point that all the mail in that account is spam/junk then you can set the default address to :blackhole: (being sure to include the colons) and it will simply delete all unrouted mail straight away.

then you can set the default address to :blackhole:

 

Hey, this sounds interesting, but how do you mean?
