catchall required in 2003

I have just had to do the most painful, twisted sbs03 install, the guy
now wants me to redirect all mail without a definitive mailbox to be
directed to him (ie ALL spam) and he will not be happy until I do it.

All I can find so far are people charging for it (this guy wont pay for
AV) and scripts that redirect all mail to his box, including those with
legit addresses.  He used to receive hundreds of mails a day now he
doesn't.  I truly am at a loss why he wants to do it.

This is my first attempt at exchange so I am a bit green.  It seems that
approx 4 mails per day are seen as 'undeliverable' and I guess this is
because of attachments or corruption or something, but all the spam is
being bounced.  I figured that 'undeliverable' meant no AD/mailbox
account but there seems to be more to it than that.

My googles have all come back with catchall scripts which are complex
and gonna create more problems than they solve plus they literally catch
'all'.  I only want the mispelt and spam to go to him, user1 and user2
etc should go to their respective boxes.

To summarise, we have installed sbs03 standard, he has a default pop
account through which all mail is received then redirected.  All mail
not destined for a defined mailbox must end up in his, not be bounced.

Any help appreciated,

Shaun

Shaun,

Is it possible to use the postmaster account and configure this mailbox in
Outlook ?
