NO!  You must never, ever select anything but 'Do not Relay' or 'Relay
for Addresses' in IMail. All other options = open relay.

You  seem confused about the diff between relaying and local delivery.
Relaying is to an off-box recipient, local is to an on-box recipient.

No  matter  what,  what you're looking for cannot be done in IMail, or
really  any  MTA  at  this  time:  you  want  to ensure that all local
delivery comes MAIL FROM: an address that can definitely receive mail.
The  closest  you'll get is sender address verification, which PostFix
and  other MTAs make available, and which you could implement in IMail
using  a custom SMTP handler. Sender address verification only goes so
far,  since  (a)  you'll  get  a ton of false positives that will mean
you're  not  being  as  draconian  as you think you are, since so many
sites  just  accept,  then delete, mail to nonexistent local addresses
(no  harm  done  there,  really); and (b) you will definitely kick out
some  legitimate  mail  from misconfigured servers and will have to do
band-aid whitelisting.

Magdy,  you  need  to  search  the  archives  to get in touch with the
anti-relay  discussions which have been going on since time immemorial
on the IMail Forum, then post back with follow-up.
