Your MX record looks like this, though:
  mail.webgeek.com A (Address) 64.39.237.115

So you need to put @mail.webgeek.com as an alias.

Okay, I tried putting in "@mail.webgeek.com" and that didn't work. The mail bounces back:

When I put in "@webgeek.com" then the "catch-all" works, except that it takes its job literally and catches **ALL** of the mail sent to the webgeek.com domain, even that meant for valid users.
