Re: [Declude.JunkMail] New feature

[Glenn \\ WCNet]

There's a new per-host security feature in IMail 7 that, if enabled, will bounce incoming messages if the sub-mailbox does not already exist -- it WILL NOT be created.  I've found several cases of sub-mailboxes that had never been accessed, and the user was checking his account only by client, so he couldn't have created it and obviously had no idea it even existed.  I assume they were created by spammers hitting a user account such [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a message to a hyphenated variation of the username such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- a sub-mailbox named "joe" would be created under the account of "billy."  I do have the "bounce if sub-mailbox does not exist" option enabled.  Are you not aware of this, or does JunkMail/Declude have a way to work around it?   Glenn Z.     ----- Original Message ----- From: R.

And if we have to create each folder what >happens if the folder is not there??? These are "IMail folders", which aren't subdirectories, so there is nothing to create. For example, the E-mail that goes to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" would appear in web messaging as a folder/mailbox "joe" when the user "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is logged in (and would be on the hard drive in a file like "IMail\users\spam\joe.mbx").                                          -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.  To unsubscribe, just send an E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and type "unsubscribe Declude.JunkMail".  The archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com.
