So is there no way to map *domain.tld into one users maildir without specifying every address that is to be mapped?

This Postfix server is being setup for an ISP, and I know that the first thing I'll be asked for is a catchall POP box, there will be hundreds of these catchall boxes for virtual domains, I was hoping they'd be fairly simple to setup...

One other question (sorry to bug you) - I was thinking of using the fields named 'bool1' and 'bool2' etc... To generate the $fast_flush_domains list of ETRN clients.... - Do you have any suggestions as to what config to use here?

Many thanks,
        Aaron

Well, the best way I've found using that setup to do a catchall is a bit of a
pain, but it works... Set up an entry in virtual like this:
domain.tld catchalldomain.tld
Replacing catchalldomain.tld with the address you want the mail to go to.
Then, add in entry in virtual for every user in the domain pointing to
themselves.
user1domain.tld user1domain.tld
user2domain.tld user2domain.tld

And so on... It's the best I could come up with... Personally, I don't like
catch-all email addresses. It means increased spam. But a customer wanted
it, so I had to figure out how to do it...
