On the mail host properties General tab, do you have the sub-mailbox
creation set to 'bounce'?

Sorry, that only works when email is sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] domain, for the "somethingelse" part.

Sharon,
Is there a SMTP firewall (proxy, relay server, MS SMTP, etc...)? Check
your services.... Try stopping IMail SMTP and see if you can still
connect on port 25. If you can, then its not IMail.

I connected to mail.todhunter.com and got this:

220 SMTP service ready **(did you modify IMail helo response?)**
ehlo test
250-Requested mail action okay, completed
250-SIZE 0
250 8BITMIME **(much less text here than IMail usually reports, unless
you have a very old version)**
vrfy root
252 Cannot verify user, but will accept for this address
mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
250 Requested mail action okay, completed
rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
250 Requested mail action okay, completed
rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
250 Requested mail action okay, completed
rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
250 Requested mail action okay, completed

So it appears it is not IMail on port 25 and it appears to accept for
any address at your host.

If this is IMail, then it is acting as if it has a nobody alias. That
is the only thing I know that would disable IMail's Valid/Invalid user
testing in the RCPT TO:

Connecting to port 110, revels a standard IMail response. So, the IP
for mail.todhunter.com seems to have the non-IMail SMTP response.
