Hi

I'm installing SBS2003 on a new server and wisely or otherwise, my company
wishes to receive all mail that is sent to our domain. On the
Troubleshooting tab of the POP3 connector Manager Properties dialog, I have
set undeliverable mail to be sent to an exchange mailbox (user1) but this
doesn't appear to have done the trick. user1 is successfully receiving all
messages sent to user1@domain.com but any mail sent to a non Exchange
mailbox i.e. dummy@domain.com is being bounced back to the sender as
undeliverable and not reaching user1. Am I misunderstanding the purpose of
the setting on the Troubleshooting tab ?

Incidentally, for each mail sent to dummy@domain.com three files are
appearing in c:\program files\exchgsvr\mailroot\vsi 1\badmail with the
extensions .BAD .BDP and .BDR. The .BAD file appears to contain a copy of
the bounced mail.

I'd be very grateful for any help from the group.

Jon
