_IMail_ doesn't refuse anything, it just sends back 5xxs for unknowns. This is exactly like the Outlook/OE/Bat client question surfaced on the IMail list, except that full-fledged MTAs submit the messages they can and kick back DSNs for the ones they can't.
Think about it: this is why dictionary attacks work; if a single envelope failure always triggered failure of the entire session, we'd be a lot safer, since spammers could _only_ use a stack of verified addresses.
