Mail from blocked users

I'm running x server 10.3.9 and even if the option for undeliverable email is off I'm getting all the mail from users that are no longer in my DB. If I send an email to a user that was on my list but have no mail service I will be getting the mail and no bounce ...

I have no virtual domains emails ... just my main domain.

any idea?

thanks

Here's the result of postconf -n
it seems ok to me. I just changed the setup domain with mydomain.com

wasn't what I was thinking...

While you're making changes, change this entry:
mynetworks = 127.0.0.1/32,192.168.0.1/32,192.168.0.100-254

If you requie that clients on your LAN relay without SMTP, change it to:
mynetworks = 127.0.0.1/32,192.168.0.0/24

If you prefer an more secure config, to require all clients use SMTP-Auth, then change it to:
mynetworks = 127.0.0.1/32

You can change the above in ServerAdmin or directly in /etc/postfix/main.cf
stop/start mail service

Back to your problem. Did you delete the users from the cyrus database? WGM doesn't fully delete users, it leaves the user in the cyrus database.
There are several ways to do this, you could install cyradm, it's a command-line tool- not real friendly.
You could use SirAdmin (search and you'll find it) from a 10.4 client. There are some steps. Briefly:
- in /etc/imapd.conf, add a new admin user to the first line. It's best if this is NOT a user who normally checks mail (like 'admin').
- stop/start mail service
- enable mail for the user in step 1 using WorkGroupManager
- From a 10.4 client, connect to your IMAP server using SirAdmin and the admin user you enabled. If successful, you will see a list of all accounts on the server.
- For any account you want to delete, you need to add an ACL which allows you to do this. So to delete an no longer existing user 'joe', you would need to add an acl to joe's top level mailbox, the acl should give the admin user 'c' permission to that box.
- once you've given the c permission to the admin user, you can now delete the joe top level mailbox (it's children will delete with it).

clean-up any old accounts using this method. This was done from memory with very little time. If you have trouble, post back.
