Look -- all our server sent was a standard iMail bounce for a non-existing account --
Assuming you're using the term correctly, bouncing (ie, accept then create non-delviery msg) is exactly what NOT to do.
For unknown recipients, REJECT after RCPT TO is the correct action. I hope Imail, in all its recent complexity + innumerables add-ons, still knows how to do this most simple but extremely important task.
re you suggesting that we no longer tell people when they've sent to an invalid account on our system?
you don't tell them anything.
RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 5xx
Is it even POSSIBLE to turn this functionality off in iMail??
there so much crap added in to Imail, it's hard to say for sure what piece is doing what action.
If so, things have gotten much worse than I could have ever anticipated. Not bouncing messages to accounts that don't exist would create an unbelievable amount of trouble.... wouldn't it?
I'm not sure you konw the difference between bounce and reject (or you would have used the word reject)
