I have a perl script set up as a program alias that is listed along with me
under the nobody alias. It pulls out the from, to, replyto, and subject and
sends a message to the sender telling them the user doesn't exist and how to
get help if necessary. I don't send back any of the actual message although
that could be added.
I did that so that I can see all the failed messages and still send a
non-delivery message. It also happens that it fixes your problem which I
hadn't noticed.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Delivery failure messages placed in queue?
It seems that iMail (6.03 under NT 4.0 SP6 or 2000) places delivery
failure messages into the queue and thus they are only sent back to
the user when the queue runs, which means user might wait 20-30
minutes (or however long the queue timer is set to) to receive notice
when they mistype a user or host name.
Most systems don't do this. Does anyone else find this to be a design
problem? Obviously, just setting the queue timer really low would cause
other problems.
