HI all: I have a customer who is changing over his domain. At this time he
wanted no mail coming from his southeasternmelon.com  domain.  I shut off
"accept mail for" in IMS control panel and also in Mikes smtprcv and
repopped the servers. Now I am still receiving the mail to his domain 2 days
later, but the mail is staying in the prein directory.
I know I can change the domain name server records, but did think I needed
to do such a thing at this time.
In the next month or so he will want his mail reenabled anyhow.
It is no big deal, but I would like to know for future reference why
shutting off accept mail for,  did not work.

he's an idiot.
just alias all his old stuff to a catchall account.
(it's very bad for business to do what he's wanting)

if you pull the domain out of smtprcv and bounce the server, it should
work.

2) On a differant note. What are the .old messages in prein used for anyhow?
simply a record of what was distributed? How can I get IMS to stop creating
them? Yesterday I had a lockup of IMS. I found out that a message was
corrupted in the prein directory. (after much lost hair, and 3 hrs
troubleshooting) After much finagling I found 38,000 .old messages in the
prein. I do not need such things so how can I prevent ims from creating them?

it's one of the aliasing plugins i think.
