Dear

I would like to redirect messages that recipient are not listed in
aliases to a single mailbox

have set

virtual_alias_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

users1(a)domain.tld users1(a)domain.tld
users2(a)domain.tld users2(a)domain.tld
users3(a)domain.tld users3(a)domain.tld
@domain.tld noexistant(a)domain.tld

is there is way to do this ?

Best regards

The above should do what you want, provided that noexistant is an
existing mailbox.

If it doesn't work: please supply the output of "postconf -n" and a log
excerpt demonstrating the problem.

But of course, there is generally no good reason to do this, and it
totally breaks recipient validation so should never be done without a
*very* good reason.

Indeed, I should've mentioned that implementing catch-all usually is not
a good idea.

dear I know this is not a good idea but this is for an internal server
in order to auto-create mailboxes.
A script parse the catch-all mailbox and create the appropriate mailbox

THe behavior is when i send mail to users1(a)domain.tld the catch-all
take the hand and all mails are transfered to it noexistant(a)domain.tld

so i have 2 choices :

enable catch-all but all mail going trough the catch-all mailbox

disable catch-all and forgot the script...
