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.

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?
