Hi project1
as far as I remember the howto new users are created as long as there's no
virtual user to receive mail. Using your configuration there should be an
entry in virtual_domains like >inter.test, another entry in virtual_users
like >catchall and a third entry in >virtual_aliases where the source is
empty an the destination would be catchall at intern.test.
This is how it works on my machine.
Regards
Michael
