In the RaQ3i, if you wan to catch all mail like "whatever@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"  you should create the email alias "@www.somedomain.com" rather than  "@somedomain.com" for the user who is going to receive all unespecified mail 
 and check the option "accept mail for domain" in the global configurations for  the virtual site "www.somedomain.com". You can do this in the web control  panel or telneting to the RaQ and editing the file /etc/virtusert
able adding this  lines: 

# catch-all aliases 
@www.somedomain.com	someuser 
# accept-email-at-domain routes 
@somedomail.com		%10www.somedomain.com 

If you set the mail alias as "@somedomain.com" instead of  "@www.somedomain.com", the user "someuser" will receive all mail sent to  "somedomain", overwriting any other mail acount or alias.
