[Maia-users] Small Question on account creation: How to disable new account notices sent to users.

[Michael Andrus]

Hi,

Pardon my ignorance, but how does one view spam for the @domain account?
I have been wishing that this were possible.
When internal auth is used, is the @domain account issued a password? I
am using sql auth currently. Please enlighten me!

Thanks.
