Hiya,
Thanks for that. I've just VPN'd into the server and checked the queue
and the out outgoing queue has senders from my postmaster which I
guess are the NDR's but it also has senders that i dont recognise
which is what I suspect are the re-deliveries. I've set the settings
that you mention above. Can I ask, what would now happen to msgs that
are received that are not in the directory? Are they dropped or
bounced?
Rgrds,
Jon
