Open the virtumin account. Go to Edit Mail Aliases (must have Mail for 
Domain enabled to see this box).

Then select Add an alias to this domain.

Select All mailboxes and destination select Email address or Mailbox of 
user and enter postmaster.

Of course, postmaster will need to be a legit account accepting mail.

Best,

Yeah but will the other accounts get their emails? There are about 50 email accounts on the box, I only want to get the emails that don't have a legit account.

On my CentOS EL3 system (a RHEL3 clone) Virtualmin has always added the 
catchall account as the last entry for that domain, allowing other 
forwarding without issues. Even when I have gone back and added more, it 
was smart enough to keep the catchall listed last in virtusertable. I 
don't know if this would be the case on other systems.

if you set up a mail aliases such as:

user  	us...@do...
user2 	us...@do...
user3 	@domain.co.uk

then user and user2 will get their own mail
and user3 will get mail sent to any...@do...
