So my HR dept put up an ad for a job opening. Resumes were to be sent to hr@mydomain.com. But she called me when she hadn’t seen any resumes after a few days. The mailbox hr@mydomain.com belongs to a group called “HR Admin”. This group had no members at the time. Obviously I added the hr person so any future e-mails would be deleivered. But I’m wondering if users who sent in their resumes in prior to that got an NDR or not? Also, since there are no members of the group is Exchange holding that e-mail anywhere?
I thought maybe in badmail, and even read up on a few sites where you could dump badmail into the live queue and it would “retry”. But this wasn’t the case for me and not only did the badmail sit in the live queue, but the mail destined for hr@mydomain.com was not reattempted for deleivery to the HR Admin group.
So I guess I’m looking for any advice on if these messages are anywhere on my Exchange server where I can retrieve them and suggestions on how to do that. Also did Exchange kick an NDR out to the people sending resumes to us?
Thanks,
Mike
