I don't need a full mail software program. I just need a simple web app which I can add/edit entries to that'll do this.


*@domainname1.co.uk -> mypersonal@emailaddress.com (catchall)
*@domainname2.co.uk -> mypersonal@emailaddress.com (catchall)
*@domainname3.co.uk -> mypersonal@emailaddress.com (catchall)
*@domainname4.co.uk -> mypersonal@emailaddress.com (catchall)

user1@domainname3.co.uk -> user1@companyemail.com
user8@domainname2.co.uk -> user8@companyemail.com
user4@domainname1.co.uk -> user2@companyemail.com

something like that?

Thanks

Not really, you're just going to get a metric crapload of spam, because they won't even have to try to guess a correct mailbox on your domain.

It doesn't break anything. It doesn't violate any RFCs. It isn't a bad idea, just a stupid one.

Bad != Stupid

A bad idea is one that backscatters or open relays or one of those bad things.

A stupid idea is one that just becomes a PITA when you need to do content filtering to keep your head above the spam.

OH NO NOT SPAM!

who cares.

Can anyone reccomend a good mail program for Ubuntu that can do this?

I was using Google Apps but they require you to pay for the ability to send mail via outlook.

I'm not sure catchalls are so bad.

I use one; that way when I register at foo.com with foo@mydomain, I don't have to remember to add an alias for each and every site. If one starts receiving spam, I can always just route it to /dev/null.

I also use greylisting and require a valid HELO/EHLO and a FQDN for MAIL FROMs. Of the ~500 spam emails I get a day, all but 1-3 of them are blocked for failing one of these tests.

Huh?

Google Apps is FREE for 50 users or less. Including the Webmail interface, spam filtering, and POP3/IMAP (including the secure modes).
