Why not just create a user named 'nobody'?  If you don't want the email left in that 
user's account, setup a forward to the
destination in which you do want to deposit the messages.

Have a good one,

Subject: [IMail Forum] Can I have a nobody alias that only accepts mail addressed to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi,

I would like to have an alias called [EMAIL PROTECTED] but only have it accept mail 
addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and not any
non-existent account.  We have several applications that are sending out mail 
addressed from [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that bounces
don't get delivered.  
It was pointed out that we should at least accept the bounces then delete them.  But 
if I create a [EMAIL PROTECTED] alias and
filter it to the bit bucket, I'm telling all those dictionary attackers that this is a 
valid account and legitimate mistakes will
never get bounced.

So....can this "feature" of Imail be turned off and have nobody@ really mean only 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks!

BTW-Searched the archives and got 30+ pages of irrelevant hits.  Sorry if this has 
been covered.

--Todd.
