I had the same problem. The nobody user was catching correct emails.
What I did was deleted the effected email, and changed the nobody user
to an alias. Then I forward the alias to a user account. I have not had
a problem yet.

Subject: [IMail Forum] To 'nobody' or not to 'nobody'?... that is the
question.


Hello all,

In an attempt to stop spam mining of our mail server (version 7.06, all
HFs installed), we have a 'nobody' alias that accepts all incoming mail.

What is the group's opinion of accepting mail for 'nobody'? It seems
inappropriate that we are not bouncing legitimate incorrectly addressed
mail.

The reason for my question: today a client told me that she did not
receive a specific e-mail. She had verified with the sender that the
address was correct. I checked the 'nobody' mailbox and found the e-mail
that she was expecting. I have checked, and double-checked, and the mail
was correctly addressed and the user mailbox is working correctly.

We do not have any kind of anti-spam filters (yet), and in every respect
our Imail server is working properly; does anyone know why a perfectly
formed and correctly addressed e-mail for a valid user would be put into
the 'nobody' account?

Thanks in advance.

Denise.
