Did you add the users with the Win32 app? Which app are you using? If you added them by hand and xmail was started at any point in the process then the index files might be corrupt. You can stop xmail and empty the tabindex directory and xmail will recreate the index files the next time you start it.
When you test for bouncing what e-mail program are you using? Is the smtp server you are sending the test message through xmail? I just did two different tests, one where I sent directly to xmail and xmail didn't accept the message and I got an immediate notification. The other test was sending it using another mail server and I got a response back from that mail server that xmail didn't accept the message. Maybe if you are not sending it directly to xmail it's the server that you are using that isn't telling you that the message wasn't delivered. Do you have any aliases? Do any have and * or ? in them? You should try a test with out them, but that can wait until later after you post the server tab if you like. Yes, please post the server.tab file.
