Is it possible to configure a system-wide forwarder for every single domain hosted on the server?

I want to have abuse@[domain.com] forward to [email protected] for every single domain. It would be nice if it was automatic so that any new domains will also have this, also so that it is not a forwarder that users could edit themselves from the admin panel.

I made a shell script that quickly added the entry to all of the /etc/virtual/domain.com/aliases files, but it'd be nice if this was an automatic feature built into DA.
 
I dont know why you would want to do that and if I had a host that did that I would leave. You can put things in the email headers for abuse reports you do not need to hijack your customers domains.
 
What headers do I need to add and how would I make it so that these headers are added to every single outgoing e-mail from my server?
 
scsi, in my opinion setting the abuse email address is reasonable if documented; first of all, RFCs require abuse@ and postmaster@, and second of all, don't you want to know if email is being abused by your users?

Of course your users can change the forward to something else if they want.

We also set up a virtual file on every domain; if example.com is hosted on a server of ours, and you browse to: http://example.com/whichserver.txt you'll see what looks like a textfile with the name of the server on which we host you.

Of course this is documented.
