The email addresses that we have are defined specificnamespace@gmail.com
I was wondering if there is any way to have an email address that is namespace agnostic, meaning say I dont have a preset address anything@mydomain.com. Can the email sent to this address not bounce and instead land to email@mydomain.com
I basically want to create a mapping such as this:
<anything>@mydomain.com ----> email@mydomain.com
Any ideas?

Without knowing more, it's hard to give specific instructions. But what you are looking for (if I understand your question correctly) is typically called a catchall email address.
This address is defined in your SMTP (mail) settings. Any address defined (e.g email@mydomain.com) will be the default receiving email address for any address that doesn't already exist on the server (i.e that would normally "bounce" as undeliverable).

Which SMTP/MTA server do you use? – AnFi – 2017-10-11T23:35:51.700
@AndrzejA.Filip Whatever is provided by my hosting provider. For me it is, stmp.<mydomainname>.com – user248884 – 2017-10-11T23:39:51.023
Yes, this can be done. It used to be postmaster or root (or similar) and any email addresses not caught by the accounts not set up would route to a single email. It depends on how you configure it and what software/provider you're using. – Dave – 2017-10-12T08:16:58.133
