If I could get rid of the addresses altogether that'd be cool. As for how it synchronizes, it's just part of the domain setup. User Database Type is set to "NT Database." I don't know of any way to actually filter what is synchronized. unless they've change something to allow that for IM 2006. I'm only running 8.22.
I bet about 5 minutes after I reply to this, someone will post a link to the actual process. in the mean time I'll take another look for it. --Sam _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Barker Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 8:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] This idea make sense? What you want to do it delete the addresses. If you accept mail for them, you may have quite a load of mail to process, house (briefly), despam, devirus, etc. How do you synchronize with AD? Can't you add a step (after) or filter (during) not to create administrator, guest, IWAM_whatsitsname, etc.? Maybe create a Group (Active Email), and only synchronize if the user is in that group? It should be doable correctly (IE, no bounce, no store and delete). You want to reject at SMTP time, and no later.

I've got a bunch of email addresses on my IMail 8.22 server which by happenstance shouldn't actually work. Since we synchronize with our Active Directory server, every account got an address. What I'd like to do - is set up an inbound rule to bounce anything coming to these addresses. Now I recall that bouncing them may be a 'bad' thing, so would I be better off just sending them to a mailbox that gets deleted without being looked at - or go with my original plan? Thanks, --Sam
