Hi Eric, Yes it is recomment to activate it. It will do exactly the Same for example postfix does if you try to send Email to a Not existing user.
The only reason why we make it configurable is cause it makes James more flexible. For example you could james to act As honeypot. In this Case you want to get every mail, not only the one wich is addressed to existing Users. If you use James as normal mailserver , just enable the handler. There is no risk in doing so..
