It sounds like your problem is that when you send E-mail to a user that does
not exist on the IMail server, no reject/bounce message is sent.
The only thing I can think of that would cause this is that you have a
"nobody" alias set up to receive such E-mails. In that case, no bounce
message should be sent, as the E-mail is being delivered to someone.
