marvin Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Hi I am trying to create a Distribution List on Exchange so that we can send email to external email addresses. So far i have created a Distribution Group - Global and added internal email addresses to it. Then i created contacts but this time added SMTP email addresses as i have few people that are not in our organisation/ The problem i am facing right now is that all emails that are sent to this distribution list are bouncing back!!! No idea why and this is the following error that i get: Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. Subject: Sent: 28/01/2009 11:21 The following recipient(s) cannot be reached: CN=Tina Roberts,OU=Governors,OU=User Accounts,OU=Work,DC=work,DC=local on 28/01/2009 11:21 The e-mail address could not be found. Perhaps the recipient moved to a different e-mail organization, or there was a mistake in the address. Check the address and try again. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
Domino Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 is that the full NDR? the email address isn't listed there - do the contacts have a primary address listed?
marvin Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 hi yes thats the Undeliverable: Delivery Status Notification (Failure) Under the properties of that contact i have added her external email address which is the hotmail address!!!! Have you got a step by step guide as to how i should set this up?
marvin Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 The wierd thing is that i have also added some internal email addresses that are on exchange to this distribution list and obviously they never bounce back with the NDR!!!! I have 8 external email addresses/contact added to this distributin list but they all bounce back!!!!
Domino Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 and can you send to just one of the contacts? without using the distribution lists? exchange 2003 or 2007?
marvin Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Exchange 2003 Think i craked it.... I recreated the external contacts as mail enabled contacts and they seem to work now.... MY only problem now is i dont want those contacts to be visible on the global address list? Is that possible?
marvin Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Done it, under properties->exchange advanced->tick Hide from exchnage address lists
