Hi Rob-
Well, I got you all beat. I go back to the 3.5 diskettes with IMail. And I
can't for the life of me remember why...
Oh, yeah. PostOffice died and IMail was available.
Anyway, the really early versions of IMail set up nobody alias by default. As I
recall, it pointed to root.
So WAY BACK WHEN, you would not have gotten a 550 from Imail. But it wouldn't
have issued a bounce, either.

LOL... of course I remember it. That's one of the things about senility, I
may not remember what I ate for breakfast, but I can tell you everything about
"the good ol' days"...
I definitely remember looking through the spool queue at bounce messages...
thought it was Imail, but apparently wasn't...
Got totally shocked today when I was testing some stuff and got a 550 unknown
user...
Somewhere along the line I got it in my head Imail accepted and then
bounced...
Don't know where I got the idea from, but glad saner heads are available for
consultation.

Don't you remember the old country song with the lyrics, "I'm crazy but
its keeping me from going insane!"

John,
Thank you...
Guess I've been in la la land. Over the years we've had mail servers with
4 different packages on them and I'm guess I'm attributing someone else's
shortcomings to Imail.
Thanks,
Rob
PS Get something for that horrible cough! It might be contagious and
apparently senility is already kicking in here, I don't need a cold on top of
it!
