I believe it is.  It would be *VERY* nice if Ipswitch provided an option (like the 
"nobody" alias) that would bounce the message, but also let you know about it.  I had 
to set up a "nobody" alias for a few weeks as we phased in the IMail server, to ensure 
that no legitimate E-mail got lost.  It was very interesting, though, to see how many 
people misspell addresses or use the wrong format (such as people trying to send mail 
to me at scott_perry@ or scottperry@ or sperry@ or scot.perry@, etc., rather than 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]).  Finally I wrote a program to handle it automatically, so 
that I can see the bogus addresses (and the suggested correct address, if any), and 
the user still gets a bounce message.  Not a perfect solution, but it works for me.
