Terry,
I may have found an idea what is happening with 'invalid' usernames of 3
characters or less, but under the circumstances I tested, it does create a
'postmaster' message and queue it up (although I had to Send One, to make it
deliver ASAP). So you should get the bounced message, even if IMail did
accept the message. Do you have the 'Refuse Null Senders' enabled in the
SMTP Security? If you do, please disable that and stop/start the SMTP
service. This will cause you to get the 'bounce' message(s)!.
Now tell me the hostname or IP of your IMail system, so I can go check it,
to see if it duplicates what I have found. I have a 'fix' for it, if it
does!
Daniel Donnelly
