Email Delivery Failure forwarded to administrator
Hello All -
On exchange 2003, is there a way to have all the NDRs forwarded to and administrator mailbox? I would like to get notified if there's any issues with our outgoing emails and for some reason is getting rejected.
Thanks in advance,

Yes.
To specify who can receive copies of NDRs, follow these steps:
Under Administrative Groups, expand First Administrative Group, expand
Servers, expand <var>servername</var>, expand Protocols, expand
SMTP, and then open the Default SMTP Virtual Server properties.Click the Messages tab, and then add an address to the
Send copy of non-delivery report to field. Stop, and then restart the MS Exchange Routing Engine and SMTP services.
Microsoft recommends that you also create a postmaster e-mail address for NDRs that come from other servers. This can be a secondary SMTP address for a user or a mail-enabled User account. Use Active Directory Users and Computers to add the e-mail address or
mail-enabled account.
The user will not receive the actual message that caused the NDR. However, if the notice is opened and
Send Again is selected, the actual message appears and can be forwarded if you want.James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

Hi
Note You cannot deliver mail to the SMTP addresses of the public folders or distribution lists that are local to your Exchange organization. This functionality does not work in Exchange 2000 or in Exchange 2003.
