Um, with 5.5 we have our Notifications sent to the Administrator mailbox.
All the NDRs get sent there - and the original email is attached to the NDR.
I generally sift through there (we have 300 users, so it's not too big of a
job) and forward anything that needs forwarding.

Subject: RE: Wildcard Addressing
Nope, there isn't a box that just receives all mail with misspelled smtp
addresses. There was a conversation a month or so ago (on the E2k list
perhaps? don't remember & couldn't find it real quickly), about whether
this violates the letter, or just the spirit, of pertinent RFCs. The
best way I found to accomplish this was to go get another messaging
product that does it[1] and forward all your unresolved mail to that
server. You accomplish this by going into the properties page of the
virtual smtp server, then the "messages" tab, then "forward all
unresolved to this server:" field.
On the same page, you'll find where your badmail directory is. You can
have a flunkee sift through that, if you like. That way, the sender
still gets an NDR telling them that there is no [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and they can re-send their multimillion dollar sales order, instead of
assuming it went into a black hole, or that Bob Smith just plain doesn't
want the business. This is why it's generally considered A Bad Idea to
counteract NDRs.
[1] pmail does, and it's free at www.pmail.com, ymmv. so does sendmail.
