This really doesn t much to do with Imail, but this is the smartest group of email people I know.
Imail is blocking read replys because the mail from is blank (it shows in the log as <>)
That is because you told IMail to reject them.
Does anybody know in outlook where this setting is changed?
Now, it is in the Advanced SMTP settings, or possibly demoted to a registry hack.
I hate to open up Imail to null senders, I think that s just looking for trouble.
Well, if you want no trouble, just disconnect the ethernet cable. :)
The RFCs require that you accept bounce messages and other automated messages using "<>" as the return address; only a very, very small percentage of illegitimate mail uses that, and if you block them, you get listed in a spam database (http://www.rfc-ignorant.org)! It causes other admins to do your work for you, which they really don't like.
