Thanks for the help, got it sorted though,

Created an acl to accept all User Unknown for the domains x.com and
y.com

Then I created the following

catchall:
driver = redirect
domains = x.com : y.com
data = x@???
unseen

Getting all the mail for the domain now, but at least we not loosing any
of the mail while we setup mail boxes :)
