Guide Review - Email Forwarding Server 5.56.0 - Mail Server
You may own a domain, but does your host give you unlimited POP or IMAP email accounts? If you use Email Forwarding Server one catchall account is enough to give everybody in your organization their own personal email account.

Email Forwarding Server fetches all messages from this catchall account and delivers them to a local SMTP server. One of Email Forwarding Server's great features is that it uses the message's To: address for relaying, so you just need to set up users at the SMTP (and POP or IMAP) server and all mail addressed to them will automatically turn up in the right account.

Email Forwarding Server is quite simple to set up and operates reliably, but is rich in features if you need them.
