Do LP have 'catch all' email forwarding? ie if any unnominated email address turns up then it goes to a nominated address
Yes, on both Linux and Windows, there is a default address option in the Mail area. The default address would be configurable to :blackhole: (emails that go to non-existent accounts are rejected), :fail: (emails that go to non-existent accounts are bounced back), and
anyemail@anydomain.com. The third one would mean any email address you want to receive the emails sent to any non-existent email addresses on your account, this setting would receive them. Replace anyemail with the username and anydomain.com with the domain name for the email address. Please note the email address set as the default does not even have to be on your account, but could be a gmail, yahoo, or other email address that you would like to receive all these emails.
I have to note, however, that setting the address to a real one to get all these emails to non-existing accounts is a bad idea. Spammers like to hit domains with bunches of emails to non-existing accounts. It happens all the time and you will end up with a bunch of spam emails in the email account you set as the default. It would be far better to set the default to :fail: (this is already the default setting for the default address for new accounts) and create real accounts for ones you need in the Mail area.
Please note you can also create forwarders for email accounts you don't create in the Mail area. The benefit of creating a forwarder in this manner would be to cut down on emails you receive. Let's say you want to have an account called
support@myaddondomain.com forward to
support@mydomain.com, but you do not want to ever have to check the email for
support@myaddondomain.com. You would simply create a forwarder in your Mail area's Forwarders section:
support@myaddondomain.com >
support@mydomain.comThen all emails will route to
support@mydomain.com so long as you do not create an email account for
support@myaddondomain.com. If you did create an account for
support@myaddondomain.com, you would get 2 copies of every message, one arriving to
support@myaddondomain.com and one forwarding from it to
support@mydomain.comPlease let us know if you have further questions or concerns.
Have a Blessed Weekend
