Hello John, > Please explain. The Imail copyall function simply adds the copyall > configured email address to the envelope of the email as it is received.
Well this was long time a ago when I tried to use IMail's copyall function, probably around IMail's version 7.x or 8.x, the first thing that I noticed was that the CPU usage in the machine went up in like a 2% on the average, I don't know if it was caused by the extra delivery process, processing rules, etc. With Declude´s COPYTO action there is no increase in the CPU usage, probably because it just makes a copy of a few addresses. Besides that, I noticed that when the copyall function was active, IMail stopped including the X-RCPT-TO: header line that several of our customers use to identify the final addressee. We catch several addresses in just one mailbox that they later download through POP3 because their servers are not always online. BTW we are not using the catchall (nobody) alias, our mail gateway (IMGate) has the list of all the valid addresses. I don't know if the problem is still happening with version 9.x, as I haven't tried recently because Declude is handling this process well. We could include the line with Declude, like X-RCPT-TO: %ALLRECIPS% but that would create a security breach because it would reveal all the recipients even the BCC. And third in some cases that I didn't investigate very well, the copyall address which was included in the envelope, was been revealed when there were some bounces like mailbox full, user rules, etc. creating another security breach. Because of this, the address which BTW wasn't easy to guess (mix of letters & numbers), started to receive spam addressed directly to itself.
