Of course, you open Properties of the Default Virtual SMTP server, you enter an address in 'Send Non-delivery ..' field.

With that option I just get a copy of the Non-Delivery-Report (NDR), but not the original mail that could not be delivered.
I want to turn off sending non-delevirey reports to prevent getting spam, but I want to be able to check if the message should be delivered to another account in our company (e.g. when customers send orders but have made a typing error).

Why do the work for them? They will keep on using the wrong address, people tend to be lazy.
If you get the copy, you can also reply to that customer and provide them with a correct address. That saves you from doing it over and over again.
You can also go and check the badmail folders, that is where these mails end up.
Alternatively, you would have to capture each and every mail, but that is a different matter, as provacy regulations can be breached.

We finally figured it out! Using the non-delivery reports you can re-send e-mails, to any account.
Procedure:
1. all NDR are sent to a 'postmaster' mailbox
2. the postmaster's e-mail is scanned for important mails
3. for these mails a correct recepient is determined
4. NDR-mail is opened and re-send to that recepient
Using an Outlokk rule you can filter-out most important mails already.

This confuses our users. All NDRs get sent to me. I re-send the message to the correct recipient. I then get a phone call asking "who did the original message come from?"
I preferred the old method in 5.5.

You could eliminate that in time, by not passing it on to the user, but replying to the sender and giving them the correct address.
