[For those wondering about this new ability, see http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/guide/imailug7.1/Chapter%2017%20list8.html ] I think you aren't missing anything -- I think Ipswitch is. According to their instructions, you need to have the "unknown user"'s address as the Reply-To: (or From:) header. However, a typical bounce message will only have the recipient's E-mail address in the body of the E-mail. I think Ipswitch needs to re-word that whole section ("removing unknown hosts", "Confirmations of the addition of the newly-subscribed user"), and either figure out how to use it or take out that section from the manual. -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
