Tyler,

Yep I see your issue, If it is only one user then maybe as John has suggested a rule might be your best bet.

Maybe of interest - How to change the mail box delimiter - see http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-19990601-DM01.htm

Thanks Gordon. I have been playing around with this and if the user has the sub mailbox already created (most of my webmail user opt to save their sent items) then it will not bounce but if they try one that hasn't been created then it will bounce (using the bounce option). Not sure I understand why this behavior is allowed in the first place but I am sure there is a reason. As a test I set up a new account called [EMAIL PROTECTED] to see if it would end up in the new account's Inbox or my regular Tyler account Sent Items sub-box and it ended up in the new Tyler-Sent account's Inbox. So why even attempt to deliver to a users sub box? (questions for Ipswitch) I will play around with John's rule suggestion.

 

 

THANKS GUYS!!!

In Imail Administrator, look under the general settings for the domain, there is an option called sub-mailbox creation, change the setting to either bounce or go to inbox.

Hi gang, I have a user who is now getting spam sent to his Sent Items box. It is addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Is there a way to prevent mail from being delivered to a sub mailbox? I will work on stopping the spam but I would like to stop mail from being directly sent to a sub mailbox if possible. Imail 8.22.
