OK, I really can't tell all the time if it's valid. In actuality the server does have more information than me. I've been told by user's for whom I've received these NDR's that the email as it appears in the message are correct, so...
I didn't telnet to check, perhaps I'm just not that savvy yet... pointers are welcome :) Yes, I'm speaking as "ME, Administrator" or postmaster. I'm sure I've got the system configured to send these to me so I can have a chance to fix'em, but I'm not sure what to do about them. When I fix the address (assuming I know what it should be) and send it on, it looks as though it's from me, and I also cannot send as the originator. Another thing is that these messages often don't say who sent them, so I can't tell the user to fix it. I'd rather that I (postmaster) didn't get them at all and that they go back to the user.

Exchange server does not have a spel cheker, but it does kick back undeliverable messages which sometimes offer suggestions. can you copy and paste the error? Do you swear that the email address is correct? ---What do I do with these messages if the email address is correct? did you telnet directly to the mailhost of the domain in question and check the specific error after the rcpt to: command. Those error messages are much more detailed (usually). ---How do I make it so they don't appear to be from me? Are you referring to "me" as in "System Administrator"? -----Original Message----- From: Fred W. Macondray Jr. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 3:17 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: NDR... Send Again? Hi All, I keep getting email messages from our Exchange Server offering me a chance to correct a miss-typed email address. Sometimes, however, the system gives me the following error: e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails, contact your system administrator. What do I do with these messages if the email address is correct and how do I make it so they don't appear to be from me? Thanks Fred PS I'd tried to send this twice earlier today, but I had NDR expanded in the subject line to "Non Delivery Report" and the list server rejected it! Imagine that.
