Re: Prevent bounce

I run an Exchange server behind a mail relay. The relay cannot decide which
mail to reject because it doesn't know the list of valid recipients.

So, why not change the relay server? Or install software that /can/
use LDAP?

So if I
enable recipient filtering on the Exchange server, the relay sends bounce
mails.

Okay. That's what it's supposed to do.

If I disable recipient filtering, Exchange is the server sending the
bounce messages.

That's not good.

Can I somehow solve this situation? Maybe make Exchange
"swallow" the mails, instead of rejecting or bouncing them?

What's the relay running?
