If the users haven't informed mailing lists/friends of their new email address before leaving, it shouldn't be up to you to do 'their' dirty work. If you say that you have added their SMTP addys to a public folder already, why not export the addresses out and import them back in to a DL with no members as secondary proxy addresses like Trent recommended. Then hide the DL from the GAL. As soon as the junk mails hit the DL then they get vaporised.
You shouldn't have to worry about unsubscribing every leaver from every mail house they are registered on, just because they cannot be arsed to do it themselves when they leave. Either that or block the junk mail domains at the IMS. Doesn't always stop everything I know. But it's a thought.

The difference is I am using public folder to add those left staff's smtp address (alias), not using DL. Neither is practical approach when I have hundreds of smtp addresses to be added. I wonder how other mail applications manage ex-staff junk mails. Sometimes I have read emails that informing people about their new e-mail addresses. How is this done if not using Exchange rule wizard? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Trent Hancock Sent: Tuesday, 19 February 2002 8:38 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Unknown Recipient Or, if you don't want to deal with the NDR's, create a DL with no members and add the smpt addrs of the departed /terminated employees to it. I call mine TheBlackHole. I look at their stuff for a while to see if it can be legitimately unsubscribed and do so if practical; then add the smtp addr to TheBlackHole. Obviously, this isn't practical if you have to look at hundreds of ndr's a day.

If these people have already left your organization why are you maintaining their addresses? If you don't do anything and delete the aliases that you currently have, those junk mails will NDR on their own. Am I missing something here?

However, this manual process has become a time-consuming work to adopt for removing 200 mailbox accounts. I wonder instead of me continuously adding them as part of alias group, how about if we simply change the default (or generic) message of current Exchange Server's Unknown Recipients" If so, do we need a programmer or someone who knows SDK to do this? Thank you.
