Ok...I deleted the DL and recreated it, with only the x400 addy and 2 smtp addy's...one is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now that it has an x400 addy, it still gives me the same error message to my personal account.
Note: Lori...actually, I want e-mail to users that have left the company and would normally generate NDR's back to the sender to simply vaporize. While I know it is not RFC 822 compliant, we have been getting hit with so much SPAM lately that I don't really care. As Andy David said (I think), "Most Spammers won't remove you or are simply too stupid to know how."

However, Peter hit the nail on the head with his "Q" article. When I deleted the SMTP addy for the DL, I got overzealous and deleted the X400 addy as well. Man...there's nothing like Exchange to keep kicking you in the teeth and reminding you how much you have to learn and remember. As a coworker of mine used to say, "Would you like some ketchup with that book?"

Don't you still want the sender to know that the address is invalid, but you personally don't want to see the mail bouncing by? I just sent something. Let me know if you got a copy in postmaster. -----Original Message----- From: Blunt, James H (Jim) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 2:21 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: DL with no Members (WAS) RE: High Physical Memory Utilization Mr. Lefkovics / Dr. Dogg, When I send an e-mail to an address I know to be on the DL in question, it should just disappear, without any notification to me or the postmaster, correct? Instead, when I send to an address on that DL, I get the following error message from the System Administrator account: From: System Administrator Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 11:09 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Undeliverable: Test Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

It is set to accept from all and not reject anyone. 6. No one but me has permissions to it. 7. It's not on any other DL's. 8. There are no members in this DL. 9. It only has 10 SMTP addys associated with it. 10. None of the addy's exist anywhere else. Thanks for the help.

How did I get in there? No NDR should be returned if the SMTP alias is typed correctly. And no error message should be returned. At least not in my Exchange5.5 experience regarding this. I haven't read this thread (sorry) but I'd log into hotmail or something and send to this person and review the NDR. Praise be to Allah.

I implemented that little DL tip as well, when I saw that on the list...and it IS hidden. Since then, I have gotten an NDR for an employee that left. In that NDR, directly in the To... list was the name of the new, hidden DL. The DL has no SMTP addy of it's own now, thanks to Chris Scharff's tip yesterday and it has NEVER been used to send an e-mail out. However, is it POSSIBLE (maybe not probable) that when the message comes in for the SMTP addy in the DL and it tries to send to the blank list, that at that point it sends an error (not an NDR) message back to the originator, with the DL name in the e-mail??? To read the full thread yesterday, look under "OWA Enumeration Question". TIA, James H (Jim) Blunt Network / Microsoft Exchange Admin.

But thanks to Mr. Lefkovics that is getting better. <paste> NDR's By William Lefkovics The black hole is to create a DL that has multiple SMTP addresses of ex-employees, but make sure there's no members in the DL.
