They  did, eventually--that's why it was changed in 7.1. I don't think
this  is  nearly  as  irretrievably broken as you suggest, since major
work   has   been  done  on  it  recently.  It's  just  one  of  those
"create-if-does-not-exist"  things that IMail has always done, most of
which  are helpful, but this one was a mistake to have hard-coded once
spam started doing its thing.

Still,  I  wonder  why, in practical use, you'd want to enable/disable
this  feature on a per-user basis, if you're trying to avoid spam that
will  affect  all  users.  If  some people object, you could give them
their  own  virtual domain--they probably have different tasks anyway,
if  their  work  *depends* on this feature. I certainly don't think it
has to be part of the basic package at an ISP or anything!

If  you  want  the messages out of your users' hair and mailboxes, and
don't  have  the right IMail version, revoke SMTPD32's right to create
new files in the user subdirectories. The files will be requeued until
the your queue threshold expires, and will then bounce into the ether,
but the users will never see them.
