I am not complaining about NUL "from" field. I want to cut down on the delivery queues to the domains that definitely do not exist like "aol" or"yahoo" (as opposed to aol.com or yahoo.com)

Also, I don't think you would want to pound on your (or anybody else's) DNS servers to do something not related to packet delivery. Besides, it wouldn't buy you much. Just because you have a positive DNS resolution, it implies neither that host exists (it can be proxied to another host where someone has "invested in the name") nor that it that even if it does exist that a mailer daemon is running on it. That would require requesting a port connection, ostensibly for the purpose of passing SMTP packets. That much being said, this is but one of the many things that could be added to network functionality if DEN/CIM or DEN2 were universally adopted. A wise man once advised that one should be careful of what one asks for, because you might get it. -----Original Message----- From: Andrey Fyodorov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 5:55 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: a wish Well I tried to fudge Default message format and make it *.*, but it did not help. I also tried to fudge the SMTP Connector's address space - using ADSI Edit I was able to change it from * to *.*, but that did not help either. -----Original Message----- From: Andrey Fyodorov Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 7:16 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: a wish Importance: High I wish the address space would take characters like a dot, then I could create a *.* address space. This way I would not have to see messages to someone@aol or someone@hotmail or someone@yahoocom etc sitting in my queues. On the other hand, shouldn't the server immediately bounce the message if the destination domain name cannot be resolved in DNS? This particular server is a relay for our Imail servers. I have an idea though. I am currently testing it in the lab. Exchange 2000 has a setting under Global Settings/Internet Message Formats. By default there is a just one settings there called "default" and it is set as * There is no way to change * using ESM, but I can change it using ADSI. I am going to change it to *.* and see if it helps (or screws everything up:) Sincerely, Andrey Fyodorov Senior Exchange Administrator iNNERHOST - http://www.innerhost.com Complex Hosting in a Global Environment _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
