Hi all.
I have a problem. when I send a message to any account does not exist in my
domain the Imail 6.0 tell me that the mail sent successfully! then the
postmaster mail me the account does not exist.
Is there a feature make the Imail server check firstly if the account exist
in its domain before sending the message.
Mr Len do you have any Idea?
