Dear Lee,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I now got rid of the mail in the queue.

Regarding the badmail folder, I think mail to a recepient
not in the exchange organization was dropped there before
SP1. Though I could be wrong.
The thing is if I look at .BAD file I can see orginator
adress and to what recipient the mail failed. This
information is what my customer wants in the NDR when I
enter his e-mail adress in "send copy of Non-Delivery
Report to". This because in their old mailserver (Advox
omnigate) he got a list of misspelled mail and from whom
they where sent.

I understand that the EX2K3 NDR doesn't contain the
orginator adress but is it possible somehow to receive
such a report automatically by e-mail?

Thankful for any comments and tips on this.

Regards,
Patrik Gisselsson
