How to create email forwarder from *@domain.com ?

Check out the catchall address from the DirectAdmin user-level login. If you're buying DirectAdmin-based webhosting from someone else it may not be available for you, because many hosting companies don't implement it.

Why?

Because it'll inundate you with thousands of spam emails if anyone uses dictionary-attack spam on your domain name.

Hey,

Thank you !
I'm only 1 user in this server, i can ask my host company to allow me use that,
what i need to tell them to do?

Thank you !!
 
You shouldnt use a catchall you will get a ton of spam. You should just manually create the forwards you want. I always used to use catchall in the past. Now days you will just get blasted with tons of spam.
 
Totally agree with scsi.

Better lose 10 minutes one time on create each alias than 20 on delete all the spam each day.

Note, if you use CatchAll and redirect all emails to a public (free or paid) email service, then that server will think that all SPAM which comes from Internet to your directadmin powered server and is redirected by it is sent by your server, and your IP will be probably soon blacklist as SPAM server or as an "open" relay server.
