    Is there any way to mass change the "Default Mail Address" for all domains (existing accounts) in the server to use ":fail: No such person at this address" with "Discard with error to sender (at SMTP time)"?

    Here's a sexy one-liner:

    Code:
    sed "s/^\*:.*/\*: :fail: No such person at this address/g" -i /etc/valiases/*
    Back up your valiases folder first.
