NDR is not working!

Hi,

We are running SBS2000 with Exch2kSP3. We have around 40 mailboxes setup to
be <firstname>@domain.com, where we pick up POP3 from our ISP and download
mail into our SBS box via GFI MEss.

If I send an email to our domain that is not configured as an SMTP in the
mailboxes, e.g. elephant@domain.com, then GFI Mess picks it up as processed
OK, but where does it go? There is not a mailbox existant for this person
called elephant - so where does it go?

I was looking at newsgroups and added in the Default SMTP Virtual
Server>Properties, Messages tab, Send copy of non-del reports to and put my
email address in there (administrator) as my name@domain.local.

Is this correct?

I need help!!! I sent some test messages to our domain name for
non-existant recipients and I am not getting an NDR back in my yahoo webmail
account!

SBS 2000 has a built-in POP3 downloader that can be
configured to get your mail from multiple domains if
necessary. When using this feature, you can configure a
specific box to receive "unknown" messages or you can let
the system return an NDR. You can also use a Dynamic
update service or get a static IP and have your ISP
change your MX record to your server which eliminates the
need to download your mail from other servers.

Good luck
