Has no one ever had the need to capture all non-specifically addressed mail
without generating an NDR? I want the equivalent of '*@domain.com'

When I call my UNIX guys down at my ISP, and tell them I want any
non-addressed mail to be redirected to a specific mailbox, they just hop
right to it and have no problems setting this up.

This must be a shortcomming of Exchange, that it cannot use wildcard mail
addressing. Perhaps Microsoft has not figured out a way to prioritize
addresses in the MTA and therefore, a wildcard address might just steal all
mail from its intended mailboxes?

Basically, I want 'sa...@domain.com', 'de...@domain.com' e...@domain.com to
all go to the same mailbox. Including any other which may be used on our
website that I am not aware of. Because there is this ambiguity about what
my HTML people are using as feedback addresses, I cannot specifically set
these up.

Any suggestings would be appreciated.

Jack,

You can make any wrong addressed mail got any box you wish by denoting the
desired email box under your NDR preferences.

You cannot, however, disable the NDR.. as that is specified in the RFC.

And you can add as many SMTP addresses to any individual mailbox (or folder)
as you wish..

Hope this helps a bit..

Exchange currently doesn't support wildcarding, there's not a way
around it. It also isn't called for in (actually it goes against) the
relevant RFC's. Later versions of Exchange may allow for it. In the
meantime it might be a good idea to grab your "webmasters" by the
shorts and yank upwards with significant force.
