we set ours to "Send to Inbox" because the only sub mailboxes we want created are by the user themselves. Having it not set to that has the potential of creating folders without the user even knowing.

Under the General Tab for the Domain, there is an option for Sub-Mailbox
Creation - "Create", "Send to Inbox", or "Bounce". Maybe one of these
options will help?

Subject: [IMail Forum] Hyphen in e-mail addresses

Hi all,
 
We have encountered a weird problem with non-existent e-mail 
addresses containing a hyphen. If we receive a mail addressed 
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and that mailbox does not exist, the 
mail will end up in the mailbox for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (that 
does exist) in a subfolder called 'test'. The subfolder did 
not exist, but was created when the mail arrived. Looking in 
the user directory, test.mbx and test.srt is found.
Sending a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] creates 
another folder in the same mailbox called "anothertest".

We have reproduced this behaviour on both an old Imail Server 8.05 -
2003.12.17.4 and a new Imail 8.15 - 2005.02.01.8.

Bug or feature? And how to avoid this behaviour?

Best regards,
Anders Trolle
