What happens when you send a test message to an ex employee address on the DL?

Hi Ronni, I'm having difficulty understanding what you mean by "alternate". I created a DL called "DEPARTURES", then under the EMAIL ADDRESSES tab of the DL I added all the SMTP addresses of the employees that have left the firm. Under the GENERAL tab, there is no one listed because there is no physical mailbox. But, when I look at my relay server, I still see messages held in the queue of the addresses I listed in this DL list. The Relay should be sending these emails to the Exchange Server since the addresses are valid even though they don't belong to anyone. Is there any way I can monitor on the Exchange Server as to which emails got sent to the Black-hole? > I think you misread/misunderstood.
