Solved Catchall for multiple domains

[compotter]

Currently, I have around 20 domains set up in my cloudron. To not miss any emails (spam is quite low on all of them) I set up already catchall mailboxes, but unfortunately I can only catch emails per domain. This results in 20 different mailboxes, I have to check regularly.

I would love to set up a single catchall mailbox, where all mail from all 20 domains is going to, if there is no alias available.
Cross-domain aliases are already possible, what I really appreciate, but for catchall it would really be the icing on the cake

@compotter yes selecting a mailbox for catchall that is located on a different domain would be nice.

Instead of checking all these mailboxes I worked around the issue by added a rule in Roundcube to forward all mails to this "catch all inbox" to my actual inbox.

Yes; I had the same thought, it would be nice to being able to have one email/group email for all catchall of any domain; after all the catch all is mainly for the postmaster which is the manager of the email service no ?

In fact, what's missing and should be implemented that would fix this all is "email forwarding" which allows to create an email address with which you can forward all email in to any other email address of your choice. Then you can set your email client to reply appropriately.

Sorry to have to say such thing but this can be done with the crappy bloated cpanel. I believe that shouldn't be very difficult to implement on Cloudron as well and yes, it's a very useful feature that I too am missing for the exact same reason mentioned by the OP.

Agreed. An example where this would be useful for sysadmins like most of us would be for emails like postmaster@, abuse@, webmaster@, and hostmaster@ emails which should all exist for all domains and forward to the exact same email address in most cases. Right now I've manually had to set them all up, but it's a lot of extra overhead if needing to update them at all. I'm positive there would be better use-cases but that's the first one that comes to mind because I already have a use for it and do it manually.

@d19dotca Wouldn't you create a single mailbox called say admin@ and then put your standard addresses as aliases of that mailbox?

Ah, I forgot you can add other domains as aliases now, so yes I suppose in my case I could use my main email address at my own domain and add in aliases of postmaster and webmaster and abuse and hostmaster for each domain from the same window, this would definitely save a little bit of time as I couldn't need to add from each domain page individually. Ideally though it'd be great to have some of those standard ones just be auto-created for example and setting it to one email or something since those emails are generally required for proper RFC compliance.

I'll work in the meantime on migrating from the old system I had to the new system. I created those before the multi-domain email aliases was added.
