Weird mail delivered

[GlenA]

Hi guys, was wondering if you could help me
I'm running an Exchange 5.5 on Nt4 SP6 and all the clients are Win 98 with OfficeXP.
Basically what happends is on one of the clients constantly recieves loads of junk mail and the weirdest thing is that they come onto accounts that were removed from the system ages ago, the old users that worked years ago. And mail addressed to these old accounts get delivered to his mail box... I just dont know what to do... Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. He is the only one who recieves that... he gets over 200 a day...


Regards

The account isn't set up as the Postmaster account is it? (where all your undeliverable mail sent).

Log on to hotmail or whatever send an email to

Forrestgump@Yourdomain.com

(Assuming no one is called forrestgump of course!)

If it arrives in his in box then you need to change how undelivereable is dealt with.

Looks like that could be it!
I've sent a mail to weffwfwefwfwef@mydomain.com and i didnt get an undeliverable mail, so it got delived, but i'm out of the office atm, so i'll check if he revieved it later.

But if thats the case, what do i need to do to solve that? i.e. handle the undeliverable management?

Ha! I know but I ain't telling!

Go into Exchange Administrator - COnnections - Internet Mail Service - Internet Mail - then set the Administrators Mail box that you want all your messages and NDR's sent to - Then select notifications that you want sent to that box.

Job done!

Any prob's repost,

Iain
