What we really need is a separate set of retry options for NDR's. Have it try an NDR once or twice and then give up without notifying your of its failure to deliver the NDR (instead of the normal retry sequence for real mail).

Exchange sends those notifications back to the originator with <> as the sender. What she's asking for is a way to eliminate sending NDRs to nonexistant return addresses, which is why she sees e-mail backed up in the outbound Q, addressed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED], from <>. Many times, those SPAM e-mails are sent to what used to be legitimate SMTP addresses within the organization, but which have since been deleted, due to an employee leaving the company. Happens to me every day. So...Pete's initial suggestion to add the SMTP address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the Blackhole DL when the employee leaves the company, is a legitimate and very good suggestion.

I know that most of them are undeliverable messages usually all to Unknown Recipients but I see messages in the queue to people that haven't been here in 3 years. Is there anyway to block those or remove those before they can even get that far. I don't understand I guess why they're all going to no originator. I've tried to block them at the Trend server but no luck. Basically the Internet Mail Connector is just trying to notify the sender of these but can't. Any suggestions would be awesome.
