I think Christopher's note about aliases related to local aliases for remote addresses--which is an interesting exception that can only be disabled by changing the Reg. > Disabling accounts works as expected for me (real domains, SMTP AUTH > required) - the mail is still delivered, but the users can't send or > retrieve it. This will indeed work quite well, provided the "point of contact" account you mention later is first denied Host Administrator privs!

Even with the change to the Registry, you could still add a "point of contact" account back in strategically, either by adding it to a general domain through a host alias or by adding the original domain in as an empty domain. Because of this very issue, I do set up my administrative accounts to be at a special internal domain--and unable to receive mail from outside--so I can make sure the domain registration is always current and I can always send to the mailbox. Users often request a forward on the account, but I always leave the mail in the dedicated mailbox as well. -Sandy Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
