Hi all,

I have catchall setting for my domain and I have been using around 10 aliases. But I have around 5 more which is well-knows by spammers so I get around 900 spam letters to those 5 aliases. I don't want to remove catch all, but all I want is to block those 5 aliases known by spammers. How can I do it and where?

Thanks.
 
Can you please explain that question further?

You can set up email accounts.
You can set up forwarders.

How does your definition of aliases fit into that? And I say that because aliases mean different things to different people.
 
Say for example you have

peter.laws@ domain.co.uk, and say you wanted, peter_laws@ domain.co.uk, p.laws@ domain.co.uk, etc, to go to peter.laws@ domain.co.uk

and

info@ domain.co.uk, and say you wanted, sales@ domain.co.uk, billing@ domain.co.uk, etc, to go to info@ domain.co.uk......

I know you can set a catch-all, but thats for 1 email...

I mightve answered my own question with: Is it just the case of adding forwarders (if the package/account allow forwarders)? :D lol
 
Alias is technically the wrong term for what you are trying to do. That is why I asked.

But yes you can set up bunch of forwarders to go to one email account. And in case you are interested you can also set one email forwarder to go to a bunch of email accounts.
 
Alias is a perfectly good term for that ... if you're staying on the same server. DirectAdmin uses the same code for on-server and off-server, so calls them all forwarders.
