prevent mail loop |
|
|
Hello,
I am using Exchange Server 2003.
Mail is downloaded from a catchall POP3-mailbox and delivered to our server.
If somebody adresses a non-existing emailadres, following happens
1.sender-> not.existing@sportconsult.be
2.not.existing@sportconsult.be -> catchall
3.catchall -> exchange
4.exchange -> adress unknown -> delivery mail external (relay.myisp)
5.relay.myisp -> catchall
--> back to step 3 !
So my mail is bounced back and forward from exchange server tot catchall pop
mailbox.
I want to achieve that incomming mail that to does NOT exist on my server
immediatly generates a NDR. Can this be achieved? How?
Any help is appreciated!
regards,
bart

Stop using that POP-to-SMTP thing.

We seem to have the same problem, particularly when we receive press
releases where the "To" field is says "Distribution List" and not a name in
our organisation.
The problem is that our server sends out a message back to the distribution
list that clearly tells the world that it is our server that has the
problem, which is highly embarrassing to the business!
Any ideas as to how we can correct this?
Thanks
Matt
