How to Reject email if email address (recipient )doesn't exist?

Hey Nethserverians!

Could anyone guide me on how to reject emails if the email doesn’t exist?

for example:
the email address abc@mydomain.com doesn’t exist but if someone send an email to that address still I receive those emails on root@mydomain.com. I want to implement a mechanism where when someone sends an email to an email address that doesn’t exist on my domain then the mail server should reject email immediately. So, the sender will receive a rejection email.

Thanks a lot!

hum check the domain settings inside the email application, I guess that you have enabled the Accept unknown recipients to root.

Normally it is the default behaviour to reject unknown email address
