Create and hide from the GAL a distribution list with no members, and add to it all the internet addresses that you want mail to dissappear when sent to. Because this method results in no NDRs being returned to the sender, I only use it for people who are long gone, and use a rule like Tom's for more recently departed people. -Peter -----Original Message----- From: Alverson, Thomas M.

This way you will still get notifications when someone just misspells a valid user's email address.

As with any company, I am constantly adding or removing mail boxes. My question is, when I delete a mailbox, the incoming email for that user goes to the Administrators mail box as "User not found" Is there a way I can just reject the email, and not put a message in the Admin mail box. The issue is many users get subscribed to all kinds of email lists, and when a user leaves, I am overwhelmed with email that is intended for a user that no longer has an email box on our system. We are not a large company, but I get 300-500 of these types of messages a day. Please help if you can.
