Hi Scott;
AND THANK YOU BIG TIME for replying. You are the first that bothered. I
really do appreciate it!!!
I do have a nobody alias pointing to my mailbox on the server. Would that
not send any email not delivered or reject/bounce messages to my mailbox for
me to see???
Maybe I tried to explain too much in my question. I am sending email to 95
people, however, only 90 people are setup on the IMail server with aliases
pointing to their actual mailbox which is someone else in the world.
Wouldn't I still expect to receive reject/bounce messages from the 5 people
that I tried to send a message too but didn't have an alias setup for
them???
Much thanks again ... Dave
