Incoming mail from outside of our organization is randomly delivered to wrong mailbox. &nbsp;The user's names are usually similar, ie Beth.Wrong@mydomain.org is getting mail sent to Beth.Right@my.domain.org. &nbsp;In one instance where I looked at the mail headers, there was no reference to the address of the person who received the mail incorrectly. &nbsp;Not sure if this is ALWAYS true, but in most of these cases, the mail is Spam.<br />
<br />
A similar problem randomly occurs when using REPLY in Outlook. &nbsp;In this case, the sender's email address is modified and given the domain name of my organization. &nbsp;I receive mail from Outsider@TheirDomain.net and when I REPLY, my reply is addressed to Outsider@MyDomain.org. &nbsp;Of course I get a NDR. &nbsp;When I look at the headers I see<br />
(envelope-sender &lt;Outsider@TheirDomain.net&gt;<wbr />)<br />
From: &nbsp;Outsider@MyDomain.org<br />
Return-Path: &nbsp;Outsider@MyDomain.org<br />
<br />
Are these 2 problems related? &nbsp;Does anyone have a suggestion for resoving either?
