Domain email catch-all

Hi all,
I registered a domain via Plusnet last week. Looking at email settings I was expecting my catch-all alias for username.force9.co.uk to also work for mydomain.co.uk too. However, the only address @mydomain.co.uk that works is if I prefix it with the name of my mailbox e.g. mailbox@mydomain.co.uk.
I want anything@mydomain.co.uk to go to the same place as anything@username.force9.co.uk. Should it do this automatically or have a missed a setting? I've searched the support pages and the forums but can't find anything up to date regarding this.
Many thanks,
Jerry

not sure what the difference is, but I have in effect three, @free-online.co.uk @idps.co.uk (I dont pay subscriptions) and the one I got in the mail hack a few years back @username.me.uk all are interchangable ie mr@ and any of the suffixes all go to the same box

I was expecting anything before @mydomain.co.uk to go to the same place as anything before @username.force9.co.uk but it doesn't. Before I raise a ticket I thought I'd ask here first in case I've done something stupid! Anyone else?

It should work as you expected. Try turning the catchall off and then on again to see if that kicks it in to life.

You referred to your catch-all being an alias rather than a mailbox. My catch-all is a mailbox and mail sent to anything@mydomain.co.uk ends up in my catch-all mailbox @username.force9.co.uk.
So is the different behaviour you have due to your catch-all being an alias?

Sorry wrong term! I meant mailbox.

Okay, I'll give that a try. Failing that I'll raise a ticket. Thanks.

Interesting. I logged into email settings and a new postmaster alias appeared.
Anyway, I turned the catch-all off and back on as suggested and I'm pleased to say everything now works as I expected. Many thanks.
