If you'd like to use a
catch-all address
, use the form mentioned in the image
above:
*@domain.demo
, but please note:
The use of a so-called catch-all setting, where every combination of characters in front of
the domain name is accepted as an email address (
*@example.com
), makes your
domain extra vulnerable to spam and viruses. This is why AMES enables
advanced
greylisting
for all catch-all users. This technique bounces emails from unknown senders
the first time, and will accept only the second or later attempt. Because a lot of spam
servers will not try to resend emails, greylisting significantly reduces the amount of
emails that must be filtered and scanned.

OTE
:
Since the time it takes for the emails to be re-delivered depends on the sender's
mail server, thus delaying the email delivery, Avira discourages the use of a "catch-all"
setting. The best approach is to create a separate user account in AMES for every user you
have. The LDAP feature can really cut the time spent on this task.

This setting is only available to Avira Partners, because of the possible
consequences of misconfiguration. Please contact your Avira partner for more
