    Default catch all, google apps and wildcard aliases

    I know from looking through previous posts that catch all is a hot topic since bluehost removed it.
    I dont want a catch all account but I desperately need a wildcard alias (almost a catchall). For example i need to setup an alias that looks something like this:
    *_user@mydomain.org forwards to users@mydomain.org
    So anyone of the following:
    jon_user@mydomain.org,jack_user@mydo...r@mydomain.org
    would all forward to users@mydomain.org

    Since this really isnt a catchall and doesnt run the same risks I thought bluehost would be helpful - but no such luck. Every support guy has said the same thing "no","no","no","no","no","no"

    Anyway so unless anyone has a better idea, i saw on this forum my only solution would be to use google apps and setup a standard catch all account there. The only problem is that I need the catch all to forward to a DIFFERENT domain (because ultimately i need to send these emails all to a php script, so i need to send it back to bluehost via my other domain hosted by them, and pipe it to a php script)
    But it doesnt seem like I can forward to another domain via google apps.

    Can anyone please help me. This is a big issue for my site!!
    Thanks in advance for the help

    That's easy using google apps. setup the catch all in google apps and then forward catch all to the email address you want it to go to. Google apps is a great free tool.
