DNS e-mail - how to catch all @mydomain.com e-mails and sent to one specific e-mail account?

2

Im currently control my MX records at a DNS service provider. Lets say my e-mail is: info@mydomain.com

How would I go about configuring my DNS so that it would do a catch all - on all @mydomain.com emails and sent them to info@mydomain.com (which is my main working e-mail adress) ? So if an email is sent to hello@mydomain.com it would automatically end up at info@mydomain.com

My MX records like this:

mydomain.com    aspmx.l.google.com  1   43200   

mydomain.com    aspmx3.googlemail.com   10  43200   

mydomain.com    aspmx2.googlemail.com   10  43200   

mydomain.com    alt1.aspmx.l.google.com 5   43200   

mydomain.com    alt2.aspmx.l.google.com 5   43200

EDIT: Not sure if this is relevant, but just some additional information:

  • The main email account info@mydomain.com is setup with google app mail service
  • I receive all my emails via Thunderbird (POP3?)

This is rather set up on a mail server basis rather than relying on DNS. Which MTA are you using? – napcae – 2013-10-28T13:34:26.087

Hi napcae, thanks for your response. Im not totally sure what an MTA is - however see my edit and let me know if that would make anything more clear in regards of this – user1231561 – 2013-10-28T13:45:00.200

1DNS doesn't handle your email addresses, your mail server does. DNS tells people where to find your mail server on the network. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2013-10-28T13:55:17.060

If you are using the Google App Mail Service then the answer is kind of straight forward. Google itself is providing a help document for a catch all address, which can be found here.

It basically requires you to

  1. sign in to the Google Admin Console
  2. either go to Settings > Gmail or Google Apps > Gmail > User Settings
  3. Set Up the Catch All Address

I hope this is helping you.
