Harry,
If a mail server does not accept the message, it is the responsibility of
the SENDER (sending SMTP server), to return the message, with an
explaination (should be something like 'invalid user' in this case). Only if
IMail accepted the message, then could not deliver it, would it take
responsibility for sending the failure (postmaster) message.
Check the sending server!
