what I would like to achieve is this : whenever I register at new-cool-gizmo.net I use new-cool-gizmo@mydomain.com

all mail sent to catch-all addresses (there is no mailbox for these addresses) are re-sent to my gmail.com address.

- How can I create a catch-all address on linode ?
- How cain I create this incredibly useful kind of redirect ?

Thanks in advance !

You probably want something like Postfix's fallback_transport:

Just keep in mind that any spam run against your domain means a lot of emails coming to you..

I personally use postfix's recipient delimiter thing..

so assume my email address is blah@blah.com, i can send anything to blah+newcoolsite@blah.com and it gets sent to blah@blah.com which you could forward if you wanted to..

Atleast then they have to get the prefix right.
