I'd love to be able to do this:
software-DA@domainname->software@domainname
software-MB@domainname->software@domainname

without setting an alias for every email.

Would it be possible to have a wildcard like this:
software-*@domainname->software@domainname
?

Id like to see somethng like that made as default with all current domains also.

username#domainname->username@domainname

Not all email clients like the @ in the username and prefer the # alternative... Iknow another panel has this and basically symlinks the accounts mail spool to the @ account for the #.

I think it's a nice feature as well to be added. Ofcourse domain aliases can be enabled using the custom httpd conf, but I don't know if that'll work for e-mail as well.

A domain alias isn't quite the same as an alias for multiple email aliases at the same domain. But no, httpd is a different service, and aliasing httpd has nothing to do with aliasing email.

EDIT: I just read in another post that DA staff added this function recently:

http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1642
END EDIT

Just a simple 'alias' command which makes one domain completely alias another one.

This is easily done in Sendmail, and can be done with the exim.conf file (actually just about anything can be done with the exim.conf file) but I haven't studied the details yet.

Yes, I'd like to see a provision for this in DA as well.

ProHS,

Did you see my edit to my post, and did you follow the link?

I believe that DA may now do what we want.

I know this is an old thread, but I don't understand how the original question was ever answered. The link provided by nobaloney is for domain forwarding.

What I am looking for is to have a wildcard in an email address as interfasys original asked. Is there anything new with this?

Thanks for any help.
