RE: Employee Departures - Blackholes
So what's the point of black holes anyway? Just to reduce the NDRs? -Original Message- The blackhole is to create a DL that has multiple SMTP addresses of ex-employees, but make sure there's no members in the DL. Messages sent to the relevant SMTP addresses simply vanish. Shame you can't put a few selected people into the DL as well. :-) Neil -Original Message- That's the case for me. I used to look at those but too many people sign up for too many mailing lists and it got too annoying. Just curious, earlier you said you have an "ex-employee" list of aliases. Can you elaborate on that? Also, what's the DL blackhole? Do you mean just create a DL with SMTP address of the ex-employee?

Well, what does that make me considering I don't even receive the NDR notifications? :) -Original Message- From: Lefkovics, William [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2001 11:31 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Employee Departures - Blackholes Yes.

RE: Employee Departures - Blackholes
Possibly losing the company money? It's amazing how many people never retry sending after getting an NDR, so if you don't deal with it the contact/contract/confirmation etc may never occur. > -Original Message- > From: Allen Crawford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, 21 December 2001 6:57 a.m. > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Employee Departures - Blackholes > > > Well, what does that make me considering I don't even receive the NDR > notifications? :) > > -Original Message- > From: Lefkovics, William [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2001 11:31 AM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Employee Departures - Blackholes > > Yes.

RE: Employee Departures - Blackholes
Yeah, that was the only reason I originally received the NDRs. But I figure our [EMAIL PROTECTED] address is simple enough for people to remember and that I'm costing them more money by wasting my time sifting through the NDRs than they are losing in sales. -Original Message- From: Simon Curtiss [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2001 4:34 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Employee Departures - Blackholes Possibly losing the company money?
