Kami, if you remove the "nobody" alias from your hosted domains, then IMail
will simply refuse to accept delivery for non-existent users with a "550 no
such user" and neither IMail nor Declude will have to do any processing for
these messages.

Subject: [IMail Forum] No user in local domain?


Hi;

Is there any reason for IMail not to accept emails from Users that do not
exist when it knows all users in a domain?

We are getting tons of spam that get blocked later from made up users in our
various domains.

E.g.:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I understand spammers try to do this hoping that we have whitelisted our own
domain but when this user does not exist shouldn't IMail simply not accept
email from this address?

This will save so much processing time later..

Regards,
Kami
