They will both have to go through the time-out period. If the domain
info was correct but the leading part of the address was incorrect, the
receiving server for that domain would kick it back right away.

Subject: NDRs resulting from bad addresses
I don't know if this an Exchange question or more of an email in general
question. I understand that emails sit in queues and retry and of course
that makes sense.
I've got two emails sitting in outbound queues that are the result of
users typing in bad addresses. In one case, the domain doesn't exist; in
the other they don't have an MX record (and quite possibly lack an email
server).
The senders didn't get NDRs in either case. I'm guessing that they will
get NDRs when the messages finally time out. It would be better for the
company if these typo-prone folks were alerted right away that their
email wasn't going anywhere.
Do I have a misconfigured Exchange server, or is this just the way the
system works?
