Re: [isalist] Re: Off Topic - Exchange

You can set up an administrator's mailbox in the properties of the
Internet Mail Connector. It allows you to specify which mailbox is the
administrator and forward all
NDR's to that mailbox. But it's not the same as a catchall. 

Catchall/wildcarding of addresses was never a feature of exchange - not
anything like how I believe mail beamer handles it. (I'm familiar with
pop beamer, I think mail beamer works the same way - you set it to send
all messages that can't be routed based on addresses in the header to a
mailbox or public folder.)

The only way to come close in exchange is to send NDRs to a mailbox  -
as an NDR with the original attached - to read it, you need to hit 'send
again'. If you don't disable notifications to the internet, the sender
will get an NDR saying the mailbox doesn't exist. Send again removes all
original header information, making replies difficult. 

I'd much rather have it handled like pop beamer and real unix catchall
accounts are - with the message dropped in the mailbox as a message,
leaving the headers intact. But exchange don't offer a way, except by
event scripting.

 Surely microsoft haven\'t removed this functionality as it was in
exchange
5.5 labeled undeliveable messages send to mailbox x?

There is no catchall or wildcard account available - you need to add
additional smtp addresses to mailboxes or public folders - before the
messages arrive.

Otherwise, brush up on your event scripting skills. :)
