William, I created a mailbox as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and was trying to get the messages to go there. I guess it must be send mail I was thinking of with a "default or *@domain.com". I am trying to work out a nice way to deal with users who are not happy that their friends can't spell their names and don't use address books... I haven't done this in a long time, and it may have been before my exchange days...but sending copies of the NDRs to the Admin mailbox will work as well I suppose. It may have been using a send mailbox between Exchange and the Internet to forward anything not in the alias list to the postmaster mailbox on Exchange. Thanks for your suggestion, Not exactly what I wanted, but it will do. Jay Personette [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mavtech.com/ (281) 455-3993

In the IMS Properties you can enter a mailbox (or DL, or public folder address) and assign that as a destination for copies of NDR's. You can manually forward to intended recipients from there. There is no postmaster assigned by default.

I cannot for the life of me remember how to set an Exchange 5.5 server to accept mail addressed to the domain with misspellings in the username. I am trying to get the "postmaster" mailbox to accept miss-addressed messages, for rerouting. Tried google and MS KB, but I seem to have lost my touch on phrasing searches today. All I seem to get are links to keep from being an open relay...anyone got a Q# or any other pointer for me to continue my search? I swear I used to do this, but I may be confusing myself with Unix sendmail....
