Hopefully, someone else on the list will tell me wrong,
but this is what I have found:
According to Imail tech support, this is part of the
SMTP protocol (the server refuses mail for bad addresses). It is up to the
relaying server, or in your case client to generate the bounced message.
I'm guessing your using Outlook98 as the client, we have had the same issue with
it.
The
only way to alter this is to set-up a nobody alias with an auto-response.
This unfortunately means that your server is then responsible for generating
bounce messages for all mis-addressed incoming mail from anybody. Also,
you will have to devise a method of cleaning out the nobody mailbox,
periodically.
After
contemplating the nobody mailbox, I have simply decided to keep the standard
settings, and "educate" the users. Not the best solution, but the nobody
alias opens a whole different can of worms that could cause
problems.
