How to remove "catch-all" email?

[mfindlay]

I am running Exchange Server 5.5 on an NT 4 box. A while back I set it up so that no matter what email address is used in my domain, I get the email. But I am getting flooded with email sent to 'anyone@mydomain.com' and 'hey_you@mydomain.com' and I now want to only receive mail if it is addressed only to users defined on my domain.

The only problem is: I can't find where I had set this originally, and now I need help!

How can I configure Exchange Server 5.5 to only accept messages sent to the users actually defined in my domain and in my Exchange Server recipient list? (How do I back out of the current configuration that allows email sent to anyname@mydomain.com to be routed to me?)

Thanks!

In exchange goto Connections -> IMS -> On the Internet Mail tab click the notifications button. Click on the Send Notifications for these NDR's radio button and uncheck the boxes below.

This will stop you (or the mailbox you have specified) from getting the NDR's for mailboxes that do not exist on your server and will allow you to keep getting all other emails - I think!

Out of interest, why and how are you getting all the emails for your domain? I didn't think there was a single box/button that redirected all mail to a single person. Thought you had to do this on an individual Mailbox setting.

Anyway - hope that helps
