How to stop email when there is no originator in the outgoing queue

[sandozjr]

I am running Exchange 5.5 SP4 on a 2000 box. My outgoing queue keeps getting email in there that has either no originator or no destination. These messages are processed, but it causes alot of unnecessary traffic. My machine is configured to reroute only to my domain inbound and i have checked Host and clients with these IP addresses checked. The box for that is left blank. Please advise. I am doing what microsoft forums have recommended.

Sounds like you are getting reverse ndr's. I found that 5.5 will not get rid of them. Third party solution is the only answer.

I found Xwall which gets rid of that and a whole buch of other crap. Been using it for about a year.

3rd party is NOT the only way to deal with them, MS have a patch that works fine. faq10-5018

But doesn't the microsoft patch stop ndr being sent to legitimate email sources

Yes. How are you going to tell good from bad, though?
