Smartermail accept any email with Invalid Catch-All configuration (SM Version 15.7.6411)

Hello,
I found a bug in Catch-All configuration. I have a domain that configured the Catch-All to an Alias. After that, delete the Alias and Smartermail continue to received messages. When try to delivery to the alias that doesn't exists make bounce. This can be considered a backscatterer problem.
 
To simulate:
1) create a domain;
2) create an alias;
3) configure the domain catch-all to this alias;
4) remove the alias;
5) don't set again the catch-all to none (don't change the configuration).
 
If you try to send any email to invalid address for this domain Smartermail received that with no problem and make a bounce after in delivery process.

Hi Cleber.  I just tried this on my SmarterMail 15.7.6411, and I did not see this behavior.  Once the Alias was removed, I got an expected "No such user" message when trying to send to this catch-all again.  For further assistance, I would recommend opening up a support ticket.

Hello Rod,
Try to do this using webserivces (delete the alias). And try to send to any address (because the catch-all it's active even the alias don't exists).

Hi Celeb. I just deleted my Alias via webservices, and afterwards I'm still not able to send to my catch-all any longer.

Rod I'll open a support ticket (and pay) because I guess that my version 15.7.6411 it's not the same of yours.
