Generally speaking, a catch-all account is a very bad idea; it will
attract a huge amount of spam sent to random local parts that would
otherwise be quickly rejected at RCPT time.

However, if you really want to do it, what you'll have to do is create a
new router, after your regular user account router, that routes to the
catchall account. If you want to configure that in mysql, then you can
either have this new router lookup the "*@domain.tld" part explicitly,
or just put the catchall accounts in a seperate table and look them up
there.
