Thanks for the heads up. In my opinion they are going about this all wrong. What they should fix is bounced messages being sent null sender <>. That is rude. Al

If you have the "Refuse NULL <> Senders" option checked in IMail, it's time to uncheck it. Your outgoing mail may not get delivered!

As has been mentioned in this list before, using that option violates the RFCs. It prevents bounce messages from getting sent to your users, and is considered rude. The problem is that when those bounce messages aren't accepted, they get bounced to the postmaster on the remote domain, who shouldn't have to deal with them. ...
