Gerry,
No, only when Nobody alias exists, should the 'postmaster/root' see
'mis-addressed' email. Otherwise, Postmaster rejects 'unknown' users, before
mail is accepted (unless you have the SMTP Security, Relay, set to Anyone!
In this case, IMail would accept the message, not be able to deliver, then
postmaster would bounce it).
However, if you have multiple domains, then the picture can get more
complicated (I suspect you might!)! If each domain does not have a 'unique'
Top Directory (Host Configuration), then maiboxes may be shared between the
domains that share the Top Directory. This could mean that your main domains
root user, could be getting email for postmaster/root for one of your other
domains. But you should be able to see this by looking carefully at who is
the 'sender' ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) of the message.
I did a telnet to your mailhost and on SMTP, see a long, non-standard,
message, but on POP3, (POP3 reports: +OK X1 NT-POP3 Server WTSDALLAS.COM
(IMail 6.02 14667-1)) see the standard IMail message. Did you modify the
SMTP service response? I see a few '^m' within the message, which I
interpret as, you probably wanting to cause a 'newline'. I cannot say that
I've done this (modified the SMTP response), nor the effect of the '^m's
will be, but I think I'd tell you to remove the modifications, and see what
that does!
If that does not help, my next setp would be to tell yo to re-install IMail,
then patch to the curent version you have (or get the 6.03 patch and apply
that). This will ensure the program files are not somehow damaged. If this
fixes, then something trashed the files. Check your drives!
