Here is the scenario:
I have Imail server version 8.12 and use MS Outlook for the email clients

Using Outlook, a user (oreynoso) sends an email to 2 receiptients. One of the receipients is invalid (email address mis-typed).

08:31 08:23 SMTPD(980f03a900dab4c3) Authenticated oreynoso@mail.cvoc.org, session treated as local.
08:31 08:23 SMTPD(980f03a900dab4c3) [67.118.198.112] MAIL FROM: oreynoso@cvoc.org
08:31 08:23 SMTPD(980f03a900dab4c3) [67.118.198.112] RCPT TO: jjepson@cvoc.org
08:31 08:23 SMTPD(980f03a900dab4c3) [67.118.198.112] RCPT TO: jwarrenj@cvoc.org
08:31 08:23 SMTPD(980f03a900dab4c3) [67.118.198.112] ERR mail.cvoc.org invalid user jwarrenj@cvoc.org


Imail tries to resend the message a few minutes later, again imail reports the invalid user:

08:31 08:28 SMTPD(993a03b200dab4cd) Authenticated oreynoso@mail.cvoc.org, session treated as local.
08:31 08:28 SMTPD(993a03b200dab4cd) [67.118.198.112] MAIL FROM: oreynoso@cvoc.org
08:31 08:28 SMTPD(993a03b200dab4cd) [67.118.198.112] RCPT TO: jjepson@cvoc.org
08:31 08:28 SMTPD(993a03b200dab4cd) [67.118.198.112] RCPT TO: jwarrenj@cvoc.org
08:31 08:28 SMTPD(993a03b200dab4cd) [67.118.198.112] ERR mail.cvoc.org invalid user jwarrenj@cvoc.org



Now the user that sent the message to the invalid user sends another message.
Imail tries again to send the message to the invalid user, and sends the new message to the intended receipient (lteixeira) and the valid user from the original email (jjepson):

08:31 08:29 SMTPD(993f03b300dab4ce) Authenticated oreynoso@mail.cvoc.org, session treated as local.
08:31 08:29 SMTPD(993f03b300dab4ce) [67.118.198.112] MAIL FROM: oreynoso@cvoc.org
08:31 08:29 SMTPD(993f03b300dab4ce) [67.118.198.112] RCPT TO: jjepson@cvoc.org
08:31 08:29 SMTPD(993f03b300dab4ce) [67.118.198.112] RCPT TO: jwarrenj@cvoc.org
08:31 08:29 SMTPD(993f03b300dab4ce) [67.118.198.112] ERR mail.cvoc.org invalid user jwarrenj@cvoc.org
08:31 08:29 SMTPD(993f03b300dab4ce) [67.118.198.112] MAIL FROM: oreynoso@cvoc.org
08:31 08:29 SMTPD(993f03b300dab4ce) [67.118.198.112] RCPT TO: lteixeira@cvoc.org
08:31 08:29 SMTPD(993f03b300dab4ce) [67.118.198.112] MAIL FROM: oreynoso@cvoc.org
08:31 08:29 SMTPD(993f03b300dab4ce) [67.118.198.112] RCPT TO: jjepson@cvoc.org
08:31 08:29 SMTPD(993f03b300dab4ce) [67.118.198.112] RCPT TO: lteixeira@cvoc.org

This will continue to happen with every email sent by oreynoso until the message to the invalid user is removed from her outbox (Outlook) This is causing a major headache for me as a couple of sensitive emails went to the wrong party

Does anybody know how to fix this?

IIRC, this is an Outlook issue from many years ago -- it sees that the one address cannot be delivered, and stops the entire E-mail.
