>From Microsoft docs: "For tracking purposes, you can send a copy of all nondelivery reports to a specific e-mail address, such as the organization's postmaster account. The e-mail address specified is also placed in the Reply-To field of the nondelivery report. This allows users to respond to the error message and potentially reach someone who can help resolve the problem.
If a nondelivery report can't be delivered to the sender, a copy of the original message is placed in the "bad" mail directory. Messages placed in the bad mail directory can't be delivered or returned. You can use the bad mail directory to track potential abuse of your messaging system. By default, the bad mail directory is located at root:\Exchsrvr\Mailroot\vsi#\BadMail, where root is the install drive for Exchange Server and # is the number of the SMTP virtual server, such as C:\Exchsrvr\Mailroot\vsi 1\BadMail. You can change the location of the bad mail directory at any time, but you should never place the directory on the M: drive, which is reserved for other types of Exchange Server data. If you have another mail system in your organization that handles the same mail as the SMTP virtual server, you may want to have the SMTP virtual server forward unresolved recipients to this server. In this way, when Exchange Server receives e-mail for a user it can't resolve, Exchange Server forwards the e-mail to the other mail system, where the recipients can be resolved. For example, if your organization has an Exchange server and a Sendmail server, Exchange Server may receive mail intended for users on the Sendmail server. When Exchange Server can't resolve these users, it'll forward the mail to the Sendmail server. Caution When forwarding is enabled, Exchange Server won't generate nondelivery reports for unresolved mail. Because of this, you should make sure that another mail system is able to send nondelivery reports if necessary. You should also ensure that mail sent to your organization is first delivered to Exchange Server and then forwarded as necessary. You can configure these nondelivery options by completing the following steps: Start System Manager. If administrative groups are enabled, expand the administrative group in which the server you want to use is located. In the console tree, navigate to the Protocols container. Expand Servers, expand the server you want to work with, and then expand Protocols. In the console tree, expand SMTP. Right-click the virtual server that you want to work with, and select Properties. Click the Messages tab, as shown in Figure 13-9. In Send A Copy Of Non-Delivery Report To, type the e-mail address of the organization's postmaster account or other account that should receive a copy of Non Delivery Reports (NDR). In Badmail Directory, type the full path to the directory in which you want to store bad mail. If you don't know the full path, click Browse, and then use the Browse For Folder dialog box to find the folder you want to use. If you have another mail system in your organization that handles the same mail as the SMTP virtual server, type the host name in Forward All Mail With Unresolved Recipients To Host. Click OK.
