    Default Forwarder: all {mailbox}+{stuff} -> {mailbox}?

    I would like to be able to specify anything sent to me+{stuff}@mydomain.ca be forwarded to me@mydomain.ca? How do I go about doing that?

    I'm happy to put in a forwarder for each mailbox if I have to.

    But a forwarder such as 'me+*@mydomain.ca -> me@mydomain.ca' doesn't work.

    Assuming forwarder is even the place to do this.

    Help please.

    How about using an _ instead. I have a customer who has about 50 forwarders set up using xxx_paypal, xxx_bestbuy and all kinds of other things and he forwards them to xxx@domain.com.

    I realize if you are moving an existing mail system to a new machine and + worked on the old system, then you really must have the functionality of using +. But if it's a new domain and you are starting from scratch, just use _.

    I really don't care what the forwarding character is, the point is merely that I only put in one forwarder (if I can't put one in for the entire domain so that {anyone}+{anything}@mydomain.ca goes to the corresponding {anyone}@mydomain.ca account.)

    If I have to put in a forwarder for each, then the point of the effort is lost.

    Really, I'd just like forwarders to accept regex.

    Looking through the feature requests for mail forwarders, I don't see anything like a regex. You may want to submit a feature request for this at http://bugzilla.cpanel.net as this definitely seems like it would be a useful feature. I know some free mail providers such as Yahoo Mail are now supporting such functionality.

    Thank you for your message.

    I am a cPanel user, not a cPanel purchaser.

    As a result:

    Please do so.

    Anyone is welcome to submit requests to the bugzilla system regardless if you're an end-user or a customer etc.

    Thank you for your note. I understand that.

    From the messages, I understood this to have become a sales issue, and keeping the feature list competitive.
