Topic: Not rejecting mail to nonexistent addresses?

Having some trouble with some spam messages.  A particular spam is coming in addressed to 8 addresses, only 2 of which actually exist.  The message is being delivered to the valid addresses.  I was under the impression that the entire message would be rejected in this situation.  Am I mistaken?  Any insights?  Thank you.

Re: Not rejecting mail to nonexistent addresses?

Yes, you are smile Each recipient as it's own individual checks.

You're gonna have to find a another way to block that spam. By subject, or some unique header for example.

Thank you for your response and insight.  Now that I know things are behaving as intended, I'll look into other means of blockage.
