Any mail sent to an address at your domain which
is not specifically defined as a Mailbox,
Forward or
MRA will be routed
according to the rule you define on the Default
Routing page. This is sometimes referred to as
a 'catch-all' email address.
To change the routing of default mail, make any
required changes on the
Default Routing page and click 'Modify Default
Routing'. The server configuration will be
updated.
Send To POP3 Mailbox
With this option selected, default mail will be
sent to the mailbox on our server which you choose
from the drop down list. You must first create a
mailbox before you can route your default mail to
it.
Send To Address
With this option selected, default mail will be
sent to the address you enter in the text box. This
option should only be used for external addresses,
for internal addresses (i.e. other addresses at
your domain name) it is more efficient to use the
'Send to POP3 Mailbox' option.
Bounce Mail
With this option selected, default mail will be
returned to the sender with a message attached
explaining that the address does not exist.
Bouncing your default mail can cause problems for
mail servers attempting to deliver a large number
of bounce messages to the non-existent sender
addresses as used in most junk email messages and
your domain may be abused by spammers to relay junk
email messages. Therefore to avoid potential data
transfer charges and the possiblity of your domain
name being black listed by other Internet Service
Providers, we do not recommend that you use this
option as a means of controlling junk email and
would suggest the use of SPAM
Bouncer.
