Im using sql server reporting services to send reports by email using exchangeIs there any way to detect undeliverable emails, in order to redirect/resend them to other mail box?For instance, is it possible to configure the sender account so that, if it receives undeliverable mail messages to resend it to another account?Thank you

One alternative is that Right click on Senders Account in AD Go to Properties and then Click on Exchange General Tab Click on Delivery Options and then Click on Forward to and then browse the account to which you want forward the NDR messages. The above is true only if you have valid sender account in AD and not Dummy Sender id. Second one would be you need to login to Postmaster Mailbox and then create Rule and forward those NDR's to other Mailbox Vinod |CCNA|MCSE 2003 +Messaging|MCTS|ITIL V3|

Hello Vinod,Tahnk you for your answers, but I have a question to each one.1 - will this forward mechanism forward every message? I just want to forwars undeliverable messages.2 - that login is using outlook? where can i find a description about how to create such rule?thank you

hi,what is your exchange version? 2003 or 2007?you can create rules for undelivered messages.regards,Mumin CICEK | Exchange - MVP | www.cozumpark.com | www.mumincicek.com

Hi,The person I would like to redirect is not always the same.Maybe I can use a script.Does rules and scripts runs independently of the user being logged on to his account?thank you

If your using Outlook on that account then you can just have it create a rule, go to Tools, Rules & Alerts.Create a blank rule, choose from people or distro list, put where the name of the mb where the NDR is coming from or you can do it based off words in the subject.NextThen choose for it to people or dl, this allows you to choose where you want those messages forward to.I made a test one and this looks like its server side rule so you dont have to have outlook open for this to work, but if it is client side the rule will process as soon as you open outlook and or if its left open.Why dont you just manage your postmaster mb? and connect it as a 2nd mailbox?

hello,The problem is here: "Then choose for it to people or dl, this allows you to choose where you want those messages forward to." The person is not always the same.thank you

Hi,If the receiver is vary, that could not be achieved.ThanksAllen

You're probably not going to get a solution to your specific situation, your best bet is to find a happy medium between automation and some manual intervention. If it was me I'd make a Shared mailbox add any user that will need access to those NDRs messages can map the mailbox and view it as needed, since you should have a postmaster mailbox configure most of the time NDRs go there, that would be the easiest MB to give limited read access for those who need it.
