anyone know how to create a catch all address on 5.5, so that all unknown address's@domainname.com are sent through to one user (i.e. systems administrator)?

Cheers in advance in advance.
 
The "administrator mailbox" is by default the receiver of undeliverable mail. You can access this in the Exchange Admin in the properties of the IMS. On the "Internet Mail Tab" you will see a "Notification" button if you check off the first box " Always send notification when non-delivery reports are generated" all non-deliverable mail will go to the administrator mail account. You can then change the value of the Administrators mailbox to what ever you want, using the "Change" button. I currently have non-deliverables come to my personal mailbox so that I can forward misspelled email addresses to the correct recipient. This also help me monitor the Exchange Server for problems. Such as DNS or ISP problems whan mail is bakcing up and not getting out of the office.
