I have been researching this a bit and maybe looking to deep so I thought I'd throw this one out here.
I am getting a bunch of kick-backs due to a person no longer being with the company. where can I make it so that [AnyUnknownUser]@whatever.com goes to
Code:
Bob@whatever.com

 
When you are downloading the whole mailbox for *@whatever.com with a single account from your ISP the set the default user in MercuryD as Bob.
Go to Configuration/Alias and set alias Bob@whatever.com and real address Bob.

If you don't set it up like this but the other settings in core module are then all mail for whom Mercury can't find a local user (bob@whatever.com, imfo@whatever.com) will go to the postmaster (if you've set up one).

Hope I could help.

Appreciate it but as I'm the postmaster for it and there's multiple domains that I oversee it's a huge problem for me to recieve all the mail for unknowns.
I've been looking at the DM= statement in the help files but they say ALL mail will go to that account.
Theoritical:
Say I've got Chevy.com, gamerz.com, carlovers.com, and cats.com. if an unknown at any one of these comes up it goes to me but I want
[unknown]@.... to go to [manager]@[respective domain]

am I making any sense? been looking at this so long I'm confusing myself [morning]
