The best option is to delete them and don't look back. Unless you want to spend literally ALL your spare time doing this.
However, if you really want to, you can add all their addresses to a public folder to catch the mail and set it to expire rapidly. Be sure that you don't just automatically add people to that folder as a matter of course, because then no one gets an NDR and no one knows they are gone. I wait a minimum of 30 days of bouncing so that those kinder, friendlier lists who do probing can get their multiple failures and do the auto-unsub. I also look for mail from the Super Important Client to make sure that the client knows they have not made a typo in the address; the person is indeed gone. -----Original Message----- From: Sethi, Ali [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 1:59 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Notification Inbound Mail Hello, We have deleted approximately 100 mailboxes that belonged to former employees. Our "administrator" mailbox usually received all Inbound mail failures. Many of these email failures are due to users subscribing to various email services like horoscopes, daily sports news, marketing news, job news etc. Is there a way to block these emails from evening entering our Exchange server? We get a ton of Inbound Failure messages everyday and 99percent of them are just useless listings that former employees had subscribed to. What is the best way to prevent these Inbound Mail Failure messages? Do you recommend putting all of these email address in Message Filtering? Is there a better option? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Exchange 5.5 sp4 on windows 2k sp1 _________________________________________________________________ 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]
