ClearOS Feature Request
Upgrade cyrus-imapd-2.3.X to cyrus-imapd-2.5.X to restore catch-all functionality for emails
ClearOS 6.5.0 currently uses cyrus-imapd-2.3.16-6.v6.4.i686 and suffers from the lack of a working catch-all functionality for email. I work around the problem by using two machines, one ClearOS 6.5.0 machine as the gateway and one ClearOS 5.2 machine just to host email.
cyrus-imapd-2.5.0 introduced catchall directly into the LMTP. This from the release notes:
https://docs.cyrus.foundation/imap/release-notes/2.5/x/2.5.0.html
Can one of the 2.5.x versions of Cyrus IMAP be targetted for ClearOS 6.6.1?
P.S. I tried to use the tracker to file a feature request however the getting started page had this very useful statement "Consolodate development framework here "

Catchall Mailbox for LMTP
Thanks to the work by Carsten Hoeger and Ralf Haferkamp, this new feature enables administrators to configure a target mailbox for mail delivered through LMTP to targetted mailboxes that do not exist.
For example, a mail that LMTP would deliver to user/bovik, which for the sake of argument does not exist in this example, setting lmtp_catchall_mailbox to admin will instead deliver the mail to user/admin.
Note
Mailbox name, not Email Address
Note that lmtp_catchall_mailbox must be a user mailbox name, not an email address.

Regarding to the catch-all feature, this was one of the best and useful feature in 5.2.
Now we are evaluating 7.1 but we need this feature (catch-all email).
I got a quick response from a guy, about that, this feature still working, but in the community I did not find the option.
So, I would like to get a straight answer, does 7.1 community (or business) definitely support catch-all or not? I mean, via the webconsole.
If not, is there any workaround?
(Plan C exists, but I prefer the catch-all instead of plan C).
Thanks!

I found a workaround here: https://www.clearos.com/clearfoundation/social/community/mail-routing-on-6-5-community#reply-64803
It is working. -

We follow RH upstream, and so even version 7 due out in the next month of so is not going to help (uses 2.4).
However, all is not lost...here is a pretty good doc that you could follow (see bottom of page for upgrading RH to 2.5). I wouldn't recommend to do this on a production server, of course.
