That's probably coming from Ipswitch's postmaster account. Sounds
like they
might have DNS problems, or user authentication problems, on that
box. The
only thing you can do from your end is to make sure you've got a
fast,
reliable DNS server specified in the IMail Admin | SMTP panel.

Apples and oranges. The "nobody" alias catches all mis-addressed
mail. For
example, if someone sends mail to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and you have
a "nobody" alias
pointed to yourself, you will get that message, and the sender
will think
the message went through successfully (instead of the sender
getting a
bounce notification).
