Tejinder,
My best guess is that IMail accepted the message because it contained one or
more BCC: (Blind Carbon Copy) addresses, that were for you and other users
in your IMail domains. Since the message was 'for' your users, IMail
accepted it.
You could block the email address, host and/or domain, with the SMTP Kill
file, but since this FROM: address is bogus, the spammer would likely change
that on his next attempt. blocking the host/domain, could mean that you
reject other mail. The process used by this email, also means there may be
some addresses that will bounce, so you might see those come back to IMail
(it won't be able to return them to the bogus address) and the
postmaster/root account. These undeliverable messages, could end up as D
files in the Queue without a matching Q file. So you probably should check
the \imail\spool dir looking for these lone D files and reading/deleting
them.
