Seeing as Office 365 is such a hype right now, I decided to create a catch-all address for a customer of ours on his personal Exchange Server 2013.<\/p>\n

=== Still to do, because lazy –> add pictures for more attractiveness \ud83d\ude42 ===<\/p>\n

According the t3h intarwebz, this is supposed to be easy.
\nUnfortunately one only gets half the info when having to configure this.
\nA couple of trial-and-error moments later, the following checklist lead to the result needed (also applicable in an Office 365 environment btw)<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to https:\/\/your_server\/ecp\/<\/a> (or https:\/\/outlook.office365.com\/ecp\/<\/a>) and choose ‘mail flow’ in the left column.<\/li>\n
  2. Go to the ‘accepted domains’ menu on top and make sure the domain to which the catch-all address is to be assigned, is set as domain type ‘internal relay’.
    \nI will explain why.
    \nIn a next step we will create a server-side mail rule for the catch-all mailbox. In order for a NDR to not appear when we send a mail, we need to make sure the domain is set to ‘internal relay’. This causes mail rules to be executed before<\/strong> the server actually checks if the mailbox exists, thus enabling a filter possibility.<\/li>\n
  3. Next, we want to create a mailbox in which we’ll drop all the catch-all mails (unless you already have a user or shared mailbox set up to receive this, of course)
    \nI’m not going to go in a lot of detail on this, as this is rather basic stuff on an Exchange Server (left menu ‘recipients’, top menu ‘mailboxes’, blah blah…)<\/li>\n
  4. Not always optional (especially not literally doable in O365) –> restart your Microsoft Exchange Transport service on your Windows server. (if you have the classic white-paper setup with a front- and backend server, restart the service on both servers)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
