: What is the technique called where all emails with some prefix go to a single mailbox I have an issue where I need multiple emails to go to a single mailbox and it needs to be done on

Posted in: #Email #EmailAccounts #EmailAddress

I have an issue where I need multiple emails to go to a single mailbox and it needs to be done on the fly without setting up new emails. For instance, the following three emails would all go to the same mailbox. This would allow for unique email addresses that are created on the fly (unique email constraint in the database) but the email would go to an account that all developers and testers are monitoring.


test-johnsmith@mysite.com
test-jamesbrown@mysite.com
test-janedoe@mysite.com


By putting "test" (replace with a more unique value) on the email address it would signify to the mail server that it goes to mailbox testingaccounts.


Do you know what this technique is called?
Do you know how to do this with exchange?


I am not sure if this is in the correct sub forum but with out an "Exchange Administrators" I could not be sure. Also the colleague from a few years ago that told me about this technique was a webmaster.

I think you mean a catch-all inbox: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-all
You can make rules like:

*@example.net -> all@example.net


I'm not an exchange expert, but i think this will help: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691132(v=exchg.80).aspx
As described you can define a pattern as transportrule, like:
