edward19283 Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I get email sent to my domains without there being a valid email address from which to receive, yet it gets received and stored in the general account inbox. Example: email sent to info@**** is received and stored, even though I do not have an email account or forwarder called info@****. Is there a way to discard/bounce any email that does not have a specific account associated with it? Thanks. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 In cPanel look for the Default Address and click it. Make sure it has :fail: set for your domain. This will cause email to be bounced/discarded. Quote

hahuz Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 In cPanel look for the Default Address and click it. Make sure it has :fail: set for your domain. This will cause email to be bounced/discarded. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have this 'fail' set in my default email settings and mail is still coming through to email, mailbox, users, administrator, web and coming through when a specific user is checking her email. How can I remedy this situation? Quote
TCH-Rick Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 The setting should be :fail: (with colons at the beginning and end) and not just fail. Quote
hahuz Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 The setting should be :fail: (with colons at the beginning and end) and not just fail. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have the full :fail: no such address here It STILL isn't working and is making my client very aggrevated~! Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Please open a Help Desk ticket, It should be working. Quote

Should it be included or shouldn't it? Does it have to be exact? Is it sent as part of the message back to the sender? Quote
TCH-Don Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 As far as I know there should not be any text after :fail: I will have to send myself something to see what the reurn is but I expect it will be a mail delivery failure Quote
