Just create a DL with no members in it, and assign the relevant SMTP addresses to the DL. Messages sent to those SMTP addresses are black-holed; no NDR, no messages to you, nothing!

I am the exchange server administrator (that means that I don't necessarily know how to fix it, but I get all the inbound failure mail). We have a few accounts that were deleted due to employees leaving, getting fired, etc. I deleted their user/email accounts, but they are on a bunch of junk mail lists. So I am getting around 50 - 70 emails a day to those few addresses. It is so many that I am not able to read through the inbound failures to look for legitimate emails that were sent incorrectly. I have tried using the rules wizard in outlook, but for some reason it does not catch these mails. Is there a way to do this at the server level? I read a couple articles on the turf directory but don't know how to add entries to it. I specifically want the exchange server to delete any mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and not send me a notification of inbound failure. Thanks. Doug -----Original Message----- From: Bowles, John L.

Also, I'm getting warning RPC messages that is shown below on all my E2K servers. It seems they're still trying to send directory updates to these servers.

If so, that's how they normally look. The process for removing them that I perform is to use the 5.5 admin program on the E2k server, connecting to the server running SRS. You then delete the 5.5 server from the site as you'd normally do. Is that what you did? Neil -----Original Message----- From: Bowles, John L. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: 09 December 2002 16:52 Posted To: Swynk Exchange List Conversation: Retired Exchange 5.5 Servers Subject: Retired Exchange 5.5 Servers All, I have a question for everyone. I've retired 5.5 servers from our Organization by following a MS Q article that shows you how to accomplish this. Now, when I look in ESM on E2K. It still shows the Exch 5.5 servers listed in there. Granted they are ghosted out. But how do I get rid of them as well. I also have a situation like this for a site that I removed from the Organzation, where it's still listed as an Administrative Group in E2K. Anyone have any ideas how I can get rid of these servers?
