Hello, I need to create four email accounts that are send only.  I need a undeliverable email to be returned if an email is sent to one of these four accounts.  I did not see anywhere in the documentation where this was set nor did i see any settings for this.  I dead read somewhere that that there is a sql command to do this but would like confirmation of the correct way of doing this.

Thanks Brendan

Re: How to set an email account to send only?

Check SQL database "vmail", table "mailbox". You can find few SQL columns prefixed with "enable" word, set its value to 0 will disable the feature for you.

To not accept emails, run SQL command:

UPDATE mailbox SET enabledeliver=0,enablelda=0 WHERE username='<your-user-email>';
