No notice? The mail is refused. The connection is dropped. You know your mail did not get there. This is better than anything you can do in Imail since all processing in Imail is done after your server has already taken the mail in. With AOL the mail is never accepted so the spammer thinks the mail address is invalid if their app uses its own internal SMTP mailer, and for legit mail the sender gets a failure from their ISP that the mail could not be delivered. And the 2.5% ratio was not a number I ever had anything to do with so I won't speak to it. -Josh To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
