I read this in the Imail manual and want to make it work. But it does not seem to work.

-Does anyone know if the -ruhost switch still works?
-What are all the switches available with IMAILSRV?
-If the NDR comes from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and says that the intended 
recipient is "unknown user", if I forward the message to the removal_alias, wouldn't 
the Reply-To of the message contain the [EMAIL PROTECTED]? or 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of the bad user's address? So then how is it 
supposed to remove the bad user's address from the list?

Setting Up an Alias to Remove an Unknown User 
If you get "unknown user" or "unknown host" messages about supposed subscribers to a 
list, you can create an alias to remove such users from a list. 

To set up a special alias for removing unknown users or hosts: 

In IMail Administrator, expand a mail host folder and select the "Aliases" folder. 
Click the Add Alias button. In the "New Alias" dialog box: 
Enter an alias name, for example: Parrots_del 
Select the Program alias type. 
Click OK. 
On the General tab, in the Resolves To box, enter the alias properties using the 
following format: 
imailsrv -ruhost domain listname 

For example, suppose you create a program alias Unknown_del that resolves to: 

imailsrv -ruhost exoticbirds.com Parrotlist 

You can then forward a message about an unknown user or unknown host to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]; the user specified in the Reply-To header (or the From 
header if Reply-To is not found) of the forwarded message is removed from Parrotlist. 
(The body of the message is ignored.) 

Note: The message must be forwarded unmodified (with the headers unchanged), otherwise 
the forwarder will add himself to the list. Confirmations of the addition of the 
newly-subscribed user to the list are sent to both the list owner (or moderator) and 
the newly-subscribed user.
