I resolved my own problem once I looked in the correct place. It was my configuration error but not on the SMTP connector. I had the SMTP virtual server to forward all messages with unresolved recipients back to my MailMarshal server. Thank goodness something was saving me from my well configured mail loop.

Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 4:23 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Misconfigured SMTP Connector? I need some help because I think I have setup something wrong but I'm not sure how to resolve it. I am running Exchange 2000 SP1 with a MailMarshal gateway. All email inbound through MailMarshal which is configured to forward all mail to kutakrock.com on to the Exchange servers. In the Exchange organisation I have an SMTP connector configured to pass messages to the MailMarshal server using a smart host. My address space for this connector is *. I understood this to be the proper setup. My problem is if I email [EMAIL PROTECTED] rather than [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get a loop between Exchange and MailMarshal. Rather than Exchange producing an NDR it passes the message back to MailMarshal which in turn forwards the message to Exchange and the loop begins. The good news is that it appears the loop fails because I see the message passed from MailMarshal to Exchange three times then I'm not sure where the email goes. I'm not getting any type of NDR and there is nothing in the event log. Any idea how to resolve this and get Exchange to send an NDR that the recipient address is incorrect?
