Try setting it to go to username-NUL rather than just NUL.  Note that you don't need the mailbox for this, just put in the nobody alias to direct to username-NUL.

I've never tried it, but couldn't you just have the nobody ailias resolve to NUL? 
 
It's an interesting concept that would present at least one solution to the dictionary attacks. 
 
I might give that a try on one of my stable domains (no deleted users in years) just to see what it does to the dictionary attacks.  They are the biggest problem I have.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Imail nul

 Hello all,
 
I may be beating a dead horse, but I cant seem to find any threads that talk about this.
 
Back when I first got declude and was using it with my imail system I setup the following in Imail.
 
1) Made a user mailbox: test
    made all mail forward to: nul  
 
2) Set up an Aliases: nobody
    made it resolve to: test

all mail that was not sent to a valid user name will be passed to the
alias "nobody". Which will resolve to "test". As the mail arrives in "test"
it is deleted.
 
but when I iupgraded my Imail.. this test does not seem to work anymore.  Very confused. Please help
 
Bennie
