Subject:[maildropl] Ignore "unknown user" for one domain?Actions...

Hello,

I am a happy Maildrop admin, but recently have developed the need to do something a little out of the ordinary.

I have a "special" domain for which I want to accept any and all email just long enough to filter it in the global maildroprc file (where it will be resent elsewhere). I do NOT have this domain set up in my auth backend (MySQL), since it is NOT a valid/real domain on the machine where Maildrop runs.

Naturally, mails to this "special" domain get bounced with:

relay=maildrop, delay=3, status=bounced (user unknown. Command output: Invalid user specified. )

My question is if I am missing some simple config item somewhere that will let me tell Maildrop to accept any and all mails for some domain without needing to do any auth lookup (since that will fail). Or is there any special (catchall?) syntax I can use for the account name in the backend (MySQL in my case, but should not be relevant) so the lookup will not fail?

Thanks in advance!
