Catch all emails and multiply email adresses

How can you manage multiply email adresses by one user.

example:

ROBERT has two email adresses : robert_home@domein.com and robert_work@domein.com

these two adresses must be sent from OS X Server to the client 'Robert'.

And how can you set up 'catch all email' to one specific adres. We would like to deliver all the emails with a different name for the *@domein.com to one client of our OS X Server.

And is there a way to send one email to multiply users, example:

email: family@domein.com must be sent to robert@domein.com, sarah@domein.com, nivel@domein.com and so on, and so on.

Does anybody knows how to set this up in the new OS X Server?????

Mac mini Server (Mid 2010), OS X Server, With Mountain Lion

Fixed it!

In terminal:

sudo nano /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/virtual_users

There you should add:

@example.com destinaionusername

Press ctrl + x to exit, Y to save and hit return, confirming the name.

Then enter:

sudo postmap /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/virtual_users

sudo postfix reload

Tested 🙂

I don't use this solution though as I don't have a need for a catch-all address...

Following up:

I now do want to catch all email as it has become my lives work to report spam. 🙂

So I figured out an easier way to catch all email using simply the serveradmin command-line tool:

sudo serveradmin settings mail:imap:lmtp_luser_relay_enabled = yes

sudo serveradmin settings mail:imap:lmtp_luser_relay = catchallusername

sudo postfix reload

this would be a good solution for a single domain, but how do you handle several domains, with each having a different catch-all user?

the postfix aliases in the virtual_users is easy to see how to do that, but the local user looks like it would all from any domain to the luser specified.
