You don't want Imail to accept mail for that domain? and no mailboxes to
be accessed?
1. You could change the NT permissions on that mail domain tree, so the
Imail process could not access it at all, maybe? Incoming mail would be
queued in the \spool directory, but could not be delivered. Mail reading
would be blocked due to file access errors. A lot of errors in Imail log,
maybe.
2. You could backup Imail registry, and that mail domain tree (mailboxes),
and then delete the domain from Imail. Imail would reject the mail since
the domain would be unknown. but this is work to re-install the domain +
users.
3. If the domain had its own ip, you could play games in DNS
ok:
unpaiddomain.com MX mail.unpaiddomain.com
mail.unpaiddomain.com A ip.ad.go.od.
blocked:
unpaidomain.com MX mail.unpaiddomain.com
mail.unpaiddomain.com A ip.ad.ba.dd
unpaidomain.com A ip.a.ba.dd.
or just remove the A records completely for mail.unpaiddomain.com and
unpaiddomain.com and www.mail.unpaiddomain.com.
