Hi, I am trying to find out how to create a recipient that receives all mail messages sent to the domain that were sent to a non-existent or deleted user or messages that were misaddressed that were sent to the domain. We do not use Internet Email. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

Hi,
The non existent mail id's, or mis-spelled mail id's are delivered to the 'Postmaster' mailbox, which usually is the 'Administrator' account.

However, for users who leave the organization and for whom the mails are being delivered, followthese steps
1). Create a mailbox named Dead Letter Office and hide it from your Global Address List.
2). Open the mailbox's Properties sheet and click the E-mail Addresses tab.
3). Add the e-mail addresses of former employees to the mailbox.

Now all such mails will be delivered to the Dead Letter Mailbox. You can clean out this mailbox frequently using the 'Exchange Administrator's Clean Mailbox tool'. Hope this helps you.
