Are messages from all uconn users in the @uconnvm.uconn.edu format, or just a few users? If it's the latter, those people may be using POP3 clients, in which case they could put anything they want in the reply-to field, regardless of what the IT folks recommend.

As it turns out uconnvm.uconn.edu is the MX record for uconn.edu. While this solves this problem it does bring up a further question which has to do with the recipients reply address. The user was simply hitting a reply and it was sending it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] after removing the "uconnvm" from the addressing it worked fine so I guess I don't understand why the reply would be this vs. just the uconn.edu. There must be some reason that they send there emails this way. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Vantine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 9:53 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: NDR to Uconn Exch 5.5. Sp4 W2K Sp2 A user is trying send an email to a recipient @uconnvm.uconn.edu and it is bouncing. Running the RESTEST.EXE utility fails and states it would have been queued for delivery later. I checked the domain against the http://www.zmailer.org/mxverify.html and find that there does not appear to be any MX records for the domain. When I ran Sam Spade's SMTP tool the recipient address is ok. I believe I recall from a post to the list some time ago that Exchange will not deliver mail to systems that do not contain MX records. If this correct, is there anyway to resolve this short of getting Uconn to put an MX record in there DNS servers. I can already hear there response to this!
