I was hoping for a more technical answer. I was not trying to complain about
the actions of the doctor more so than the outcome of the incident. The
doctor incident was just a "for instance". I would think that stopping any
or all NDR attachments from returning would be a good thing. The attachment
does not help with troubleshooting.
In general, is there any mechanism to strip the attachments from NDRs? As
large as my agency is and the limited bandwidth we have to most of our
embassies and consulates around the world - every little bit helps.
Microsoft had a possible solution that I tested - unsuccessfully.
--------
This can be done by performing the following:
1. Run the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program in raw mode:
admin.exe /r
2. Expand the Site, Configuration, and Servers containers and select the
servername that you want to view the raw properties of. The servername
you are running the Administrator program against will be bolded.
3. From the File menu, click Raw Properties.
4. In the Object attributes list box, select Heuristics and note the value.
As an example, let's say it is 911.
5. Run the Windows NT Calculator and convert that value to binary. In this
case the binary value for 911 is 1110001111. The 9th bit from right to
the
left (the 256 value) is set to the value of one. This means it is an
Exchange
DMS Server.
Similarly when looking at the heursitics value for a commercial Exchange
Server, 671, and converting it to binary format, 1010011111, the 9th bit
from
right to left is 0. This means it is a commercial Exchange Server.

If no one has a possible solution, thank you for your time.

Subject: RE: NDR Problem
Serves him right for sending messages to invalid addresses. Since it is the
faulty correspondents' mail systems that are generating the NDRs, you should
address your request to the manufacturers of those systems. If one or more
of those correspondents' e-mail systems happens to be Microsoft Exchange,
then please feel free to address your request to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: NDR Problem
I tried to research this problem in the archives before posting this but
found no solution to a problem we are having.
Scenario:
A doctor at one of our remote (slow link) sites sends a 10MB medical image
file to 20 other doctors on the Internet. Five of the addresses are
incorrect causing a return NDR. Well, he gets 5 separate NDRs all with
the
10MB attachment which of course clogs the WAN.
Environment:
Exchange 5.5 SP3
Windows NT 4 SP6a
ScanMail v3.6
MimeSweeper v???
MailRelay v???
Raptor FW
Question:
Is there any way to strip the attachments from the return NDRs? Either
with Exch 5.5 or with another application?
Thanks for the help.
