'Catchall' Exchange mailbox for wrongly addressed SMTP messages

[Mark Haine]

Using Exchange 5.5 SP2 and the internet mail connector is it possible to catch all incoming internet mails addressed to non-existant recipients into a mailbox from which the emails can thereafter be manually forwarded.
I've currently got the exchange server dialling up and transferring mail just fine but there is mail getting bounced due to the address being incorrect.

As far as I know that is set up in Configuration->Connection->Internet Mail Services(IMS). You set the notifications for all or some of the non-deliverable reports and they go to who ever the administrator is in the administrator mailbox field. We have a seperate mail box set up that our exchange admins have rights to. We check it everyday and redirect misspelled names and delete ones that don't belong to us.
Hope this helps.
