Okay, I understand your reasons for that. So I have set up a simple forward for lxman to my personal email. But it doesn't appear to be working. The email Isend is sent successfully. I don't get any notification about a failure. But I never receive anything in my personal account. The personal account works fine. I've used it for years.
Any suggestions on where to proceed from here?

Hi,
Now I have a valid domain set up thanks to tuxfamily. So, I want to have any and all email sent to my sole user lxman forwarded to my personal account. Is it necessary to set up a popbox in order to accomplish this?
Due to the heavy spam-ratio of catchall (almost 1.0 if not exactly 1.0) you can only set a catchall to a local popbox, so that we are not forwarding thousands of spams through catchalls.
Catchalls are today a very bad idea and should be avoided.
You don't need to setup a popbox for a simple mail forwarding, anyway, you can't do that ;-)

OK, my own mistake. Being new to this, I didn't realize that I had to actually own the domain name that I was applying for.
So, fixed that.
Next question:

Simple setup - I have setup a single email user in the panel and I want any email sent there forwarded to my personal account. But when I try to put in a forward to my personal account, it says it failed to set it up.
Am I doing something wrong?
