Add an option to disable reserved mailnames like root, postmaster, anonymous for domains
If the option What to do with mail for non-existent users set to Forward to address (also known as catch-all address) in Domains > example.com > Mail Settings, then email messages to mailboxes below are not being delivered to the forwarding email address:
anonymous@example.com
mailer-daemon@example.com
drweb@example.com
kluser@example.com
postmaster@example.com
root@example.com
Such mailboxes are present in the file /var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual.db and mapped to be delivered to @localhost.localdomain:
/usr/sbin/postmap -s /var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual | grep example.com
anonymous@example.com anonymous@localhost.localdomain
mailer-daemon@example.com mailer-daemon@localhost.localdomain
drweb@example.com drweb@localhost.localdomain
kluser@example.com kluser@localhost.localdomain
postmaster@example.com postmaster@localhost.localdomain
root@example.com root@localhost.localdomain
Please consider to add an option to disable reserved mailnames like root, postmaster, anonymous for domains in Plesk web interface
