Jeff, Mail servers may not accept a message if addressed to a user that does not exist, so it never 'delivers' the message, so the postmaster@sending domain is the one who is responsible for sending the 'unknown user' bounce. If you want IMail to accept the message, then you need to create an Alias named 'nobody' and point it to a valid email address. Then you would have to manually read the mail and reply to the sender, indicating the problem. Or write some Rules to pass the message to a particlular account that has the 'brains' to automatically determine the problem and generate a particular reply and include the orginal message. A lot of work for something that the mail server program will do automatically!
