Enhancement Request

[B&T]

I know you can work around almost anything. And I have provided advice in many threads on how to get around the catch-all.

But for some mail situations (like you want to kill one address but leave the catch-all working) it sure would be nice to have an email address that goes nowhere - no return to sender - just deletes the messages.

There only needs to be one address for all of powweb, like delete@powweb.com, that anyone can forward to and the mail would just be deleted.

This would also make turining off the catch-all easier rather than the mickey-mouse work arounds we do now if you want to disable the catch-all.

This would seem to be easy to do - and would address a significant number of email issue postings in this forum.

correct me if i am wrong but it seems that with the new smtp settings in the ops, you can stop the catch-all and that will automatically send an error to the sender. I think I have read this more then one time in this forums.

yes, you can put in a fowarding email address for the catch-all, then select stop and the mail will loop around and return to sender. I have done this - it works.

but:

1) that is no help for the situation i described above where you want to just kill one address.

2) it does not make the mail disappear - it returns it. in some cases it is better to be stealth than return to sender.

a simple enhancement that would make things a lot more straight forward and provide a lot more flexibility.
