SQL: Add per-domain catch-all account

!!! attention

* This document is applicable to iRedMail-0.9.7 and later releases.
* Here's [doc for iRedMail-0.9.6 and earlier releases](./sql.create.catch-all-20170701.html).

With default setting, iRedMail will reject emails sent to non-existing mail accounts under hosted mail domains. If you want to accept these emails, you need a domain catch-all account.

With MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL backend, you can add catch-all account for existing domain domain.com in SQL table vmail.forwardings like below:

$ mysql -u root -p
sql> USE vmail;
sql> INSERT INTO forwardings (address, forwarding, domain, dest_domain)
                      VALUES ('domain.com', 'dest@example.com', 'domain.com', 'example.com');

This sql command creates catch-all address for domain domain.com, all mails sent to non-existing accounts under domain.com will be delivered to dest@example.com.

NOTES:

• Address dest@example.com must exist.
• With iRedAdmin-Pro, you can manage catch-all account in domain profile directly. Screenshot attached.
