I've seen intermittent delivery problems caused by the recipient's domain having multiple mail servers, with dissimilar configuration.
If one server is configured to accept mail to that address but another one isn't then whether or not it goes through becomes an MX crapshoot. -----Original Message----- From: Joe Herrmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 9:20 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Sporadic NDR's on emails sent to one person. Howard, I've seen this happen if you don't have an SPF created and your ISP is listed in the PTR for the sending IP. Joe -----Original Message----- From: Howard Bock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 10:31 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Sporadic NDR's on emails sent to one person. Has anyone witnessed these types of bounce backs? I'm receiving the bounce back when I try to send an email to a specific client. As strange as it sounds it usually gets bounced back when I use the auto complete feature in Outlook 2003. When I delete the auto complete entry and then reenter the email address by hand the email usually goes through to the recipient without a problem. I have deleted the Outlook.NK2 file and I still have the problem. I am running Windows 2003 Small Business Server with Exchange 2003. Listed below is the NDR that I receive when the email does not go through followed by the header information of that email. Please notice that the second line of the email header information is "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]". This leads me to believe that the email is getting bounced back from my Exchange 2003 server. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Howard Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. Subject: FW: Maintenance renewal for CT Remote.
