Disable NDR on per user basis

[bence8810]

Hi

I need to Disable the Non Delivery Report for one user in our Active Directory. Is there a way to do this on a per user basis, or it can either be turned off for all, or turned on?

Thanks

No.

You might be able to do this if you are talking about external email, and you have a mailhost of some description between the internet and Exchange that allows the configuration of content-specific rules.

Hi

So there is no way to turn it off for one user?

Reason for me looking at this topic is the following:

I have two exchange servers. One in our inside LAN which has no public IP, it communicates with other servers in other countries through a meshed VPN network.

I need push email to my WM5 devices, so I decided to forward emails to another exchange which is out in the open with a public IP, SSL cert, etc.

The main exchange has name.name@company.com and I am forwarding it to name.name@company.co.uk

So when I send an email from the mobile device, it will show the Reply TO address as name.name@company.co.uk and not .com

For it to show the .com address as reply address, I added another bogus SMTP entry to the user and made it default, which will automatically have it shows as the Reply TO address.

Now, when the message fails to forward from .com to .co.uk, it will generate a NDR to the sender saying, that the message didnt get to .com, which is not true.

Basically I would like to have the forward invisible, and even if its visible, at least it shouldnt show the NDR as it wasnt sent to the .com.

I am not sure if what I try to explain goes through clearly, its pretty late here.....

Please let me know if there is anything I can do with this setup. Plan A, the perfect plan would be if the NDR wasnt generated on the forward server, as it can confuse people, but I cannot completely turn off NDRs, as it serves other domains which need NDRs.

The second option would be to have the NDR generated as the email didnt go through to .co.uk, but still the Reply to address should be .com when sending email from the mobile device. In that case is there a way to temper the Reply To address without adding a Default SMTP address to the AD user account?

Thanks
