    Hi there everyone!
    Does disabling receiving for a given email address bounce, blackhole or store mail being sent to that address?

    Basically, I'd like to bounce mail to certain addresses that would otherwise get sent to a catchall and I'm wondering if creating the email address for and disabling receiving might do what I want.

    It will bounce.

    Create an email blacklist entry of type 'recipient' in ISPConfig.

    Thanks very much for the help! The blacklist entry will also bounce or does it blackhole the mail?

    EDIT: I very easily tested to find out, sorry for the bother.
