Quit
sending send receipts.

Hi Scott:
You ask how it is I know its
going to uses on my network. In the antivirus for my IMail where it has
send to defualt account or something to that effect (I am not infront of the
server now), it allows for reports to be sent to an account.
An example below.
This account below is active but
some others that were deleted still receive mail.

Well, you'll need to
explain further. If the accounts do not exist, how do
you know
that E-mail is being sent to them?

That sounds like Mimail, which can uses an E-mail address of
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Note
that most recent common viruses forge the return
address, so that doesn't
mean that someone sent the virus from your
server.
Note that there is a big difference between E-mail addressed
*from* a user
and E-mail addressed *to* a user. :) If the
issue is just that there are
E-mails somewhere on the Internet being
sent *from* an admin@ address on
your domain, you can ignore the issue
(there is very little you can do
about it).

It seems to stop most of the viruses but in some case don't

Note that Norton AntiVirus won't
properly detect viruses in E-mails (and in
some cases may cause
problems, such as deleting E-mails with no virus,
because they happen to
be in the same .mbx file that a virus is
in).
