No NDR when sending an email from a distribution group email address.

  1. Default No NDR when sending an email from a distribution group email address.

    I created a TEST distribution group (Doesn't seem to matter what kind
    Universal/Global). I add my self to the new TEST group. I make the group
    email enabled and set the option for "send delivery reports to message
    originator". I then send an email to an address that does not exist but I
    select View - From Field and change the from address to be the email address
    of my TEST email enabled distribution group.

    In a nut shell I'm sending an email to a non-valid address from the email
    address
    of the distribution group expecting to get an NDR back. The problem is that
    I
    never get an NDR. It appears to get stuck in the categorizer according to
    mail
    tracking.

    I've tested this under our production Exchange 2000 environment as well as
    our test 2003 environment. Can someone verify this for me to confirm that
    I'm not crazy.

    Reports generally do not go back to DG by design. You can change the report
    settings on the DG to go to DG owner, with regards to NDR, you can only
    make that go to the DG owner also, but you need an additonal config for
    that.

    If it suits your purpose, and if you want the NDR to at least go to the DG
    owner, let me know.
