Re: [cpx] Removing catchall virtmap

[Jared Betteridge <jbetteridge@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree these are good reasons.  I've submitted an Enhancement Request 
to make domain catchalls optional so we can consider this for a future 
release. Below are some ideas that might help you in the mean time.

One thing you can do is setup all the addresses as virtmaps for one 
domain (hens-teeth.net for example).  Then for the other domains that 
should have the exact same addresses, create the following special virtmaps:

@hensteeth.net                        %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@hens-teeth.com                       %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@hensteeth.com                        %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@hens-teeth.org                       %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@hensteeth.org                        %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The %1@DOMAIN target signifies to route the email to the same user on 
DOMAIN.  This will allow the users to accept email at all the above 
domains without having to actually define the same virtmaps on all the 
domains.

I can't see any easy way around this.  Certainly allowing CPX to 
function without a catchall would be the easiest solution.
