Here is my telnet session, connecting directly to my mail server. It
*still* looks as though it's accepting mail for a non user:

looks? it is


220 todhunter.com (IMail 7.15 7868-2) NT-ESMTP Server X1
helo
250 hello todhunter.com
mail from:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
250 ok
rcpt to:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
250 ok accepted for peer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

oh dammit, you're running peering??


That forces an effective nobody@ into operation on each peer. ie, each peer MUST accept mail for all recipients, because peering must assume the [EMAIL PROTECTED] unknown locally may be known on another peer.

Yet another reason why Imail peering really sucks.

If you really need peering, then IMGate is a much better solution, since it would reject mail for unknown users for all peers, and deliver mail only to known recipients at specific peers.
