QUESTION POSED ON: 10 May 2007
When any user using our Exchange 2000 server sends an email with an attachment to an invalid address, they receive an email failure notification (NDR) containing the same email attachment. I don't want to receive return attachments if the email address is invalid, since they fill up user mailboxes. How can I avoid this?
