allowing system generated variable value in email address name for exchange 2013
I have a request posed to me that I need some help with.
A website developer is generating emails from an order site that adds a variable to the address.
(example: replyto@domain.com is the main address and the system generates replyto+sdg324m9m@domain.c
Does anyone know how to do this in Exchange 2013, or be able to point me in the right direction?
Thank you!

How do you setup a "catch all" process on exchange?
This is the method.

However it requires disabling recipient filtering, which I don't like the idea of. Recipient filtering is the most effective first line of defence against spam, as a lot of spam is sent to non-valid addresses. I have clients who drop 80% or more of the email that is attempted to be delivered to them on recipient filtering alone.

Thanks again. I'll check this out. Having to work with a 3rd party developer in India on this request. What a nightmare.

Simple, quick and it works. You can set your "catch-all" account to only accept from certain senders to cut down on junk, and you can also forward the email to a distribution list. For us this was the ticket. Works VERY well.

I guess another workaround would be to create a "junk" account on Gmail or somewhere like that. It really doesn't have to come directly to our domain.
I appreciate your help and suggestions very much.
