Roundcube Catch-all Plugin
==========================

[](#roundcube-catch-all-plugin)

Roundcube plugin for **catch-all mailboxes** — inboxes that receive mail at many different local-parts on a domain (e.g. `anything@example.com`).

What it does
------------

[](#what-it-does)

- **Identity auto-create on reply** — when you reply to a message that was delivered to `foo@example.com`, the plugin creates a matching Roundcube identity (if missing) and preselects it as the `From:` header so your reply goes out as `foo@`, not the base mailbox address.
- **Catch-all SMTP password** — when a domain-wide catch-all password is configured, the plugin authenticates SMTP as the identity's email address so ForwardEmail (and similar providers) accept the send.
- **Optional [Forward Email](https://forwardemail.net) API integration** — when an API key is set, the plugin additionally provisions per-alias SMTP credentials via the Forward Email API so each reply authenticates as its own alias.

For persistent login / autologin, see the companion plugin [`teh-hippo/roundcube-remember-me`](https://github.com/teh-hippo/roundcube-remember-me).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Via Composer (once published)

[](#via-composer-once-published)

```
composer require teh-hippo/roundcube-catchall
```

Then add `roundcube_catchall` to the `plugins` array in your Roundcube config.

### Manual

[](#manual)

```
cd /path/to/roundcube/plugins
git clone https://github.com/teh-hippo/roundcube-catchall.git roundcube_catchall
```

Add `roundcube_catchall` to `$config['plugins']` in `config/config.inc.php`.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

### Catch-all password (recommended)

[](#catch-all-password-recommended)

The simplest setup: generate a domain catch-all password from your mail provider's settings (e.g. [Forward Email advanced settings](https://forwardemail.net/my-account/domains)), then enter it in **Settings > Catch-all** in the Roundcube UI, or set it in config:

```
$config['catchall_domain'] = 'example.com';
$config['catchall_identity_autocreate'] = true;
$config['catchall_fe_catchall_password_plain'] = '…';
```

### Per-alias API provisioning (alternative)

[](#per-alias-api-provisioning-alternative)

For fine-grained control, use a Forward Email API key to auto-create per-alias SMTP passwords:

```
$config['catchall_domain'] = 'example.com';
$config['catchall_fe_api_key_plain'] = '…';
$config['catchall_fe_auto_delete']   = false;
```

Users can also set per-user credentials under **Settings > Catch-all** in the Roundcube UI.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Roundcube 1.6+
- PHP 8.0+ with curl extension (Forward Email API features only)
