    To Receive or Not to Receive

    On my old host it was possible to setup a pop email account and simply enable/disable it when I pleased without physically deleting/adding the account repeatedly. This worked wonders for me because I created an email specially for use with MSN. Is there any way to do this, or something similar here?

    If I understand your question[s], yes, you can setup an account, and yes, you can set it to 'fail', effectively disabling it. There are some threads here discussing how to do this.

    I'm not using the default address so the thread you linked up I don't think will work, but I found another that mentioned setting up an email filter. Here is what I've got:

    $header_to: is "email@domain.ext" fail
    Does that look right? I tried sending a test email, but I didn't receive a bounce email to the address I sent from and the account that it was sent to hasn't received any emails. Perhaps I'm too impatient?

    Try putting a 'www' in front of it.

    Well... It Finally Happened... $&#%!

    This is the 'cookie' issue I was talking about, earlier today, in a different thread...

    If that doesn't work, like you're going through Aletia, or whatever, just put this behind the domain name or IP you are using to log into JagPC (et al):

    Hehe... no no... I can view that thread without any problems. Its just that the issue there is with a default email address being used, and the email address I'm trying to prevent from receiving email is not my account's default email address.
