Internal Postmaster NDRs

I have no issues with the external postmaster NDRs, but I wanted to know if anyone knew why the internal FROM comes back as "MicrosoftExchange329e71ec88ae4615bbc36ab6ce41109e@domain.com".

Is there something that needs to be configured for it to show "Postmaster" to my internal users?

Thanks.

Have you set a postmaster@ email address on the system?

Yes, I have a mailbox with the smtp address for postmaster@domain.com. Initially, it's just a user mailbox that I will change over to a shared mailbox once I know the internal postmaster is responding correctly.

Check this out, I used it the other day to change the NDRs: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb400930.aspx

Particular emphasis on the Get-OrganizationConfig and Set-OrganizationConfig cmdlets.

Get will show you that mailbox that it's sending from. Set will help you change it.

So I ran the Get-OrganizationConfig cmdlet and have the following (I excluded everything not relavent):

MicrosoftExchangeRecipientEmailAddresses : {smtp:MicrosoftExchange32
9e71ec88ae4615bbc36ab6ce4
1109e@<domain>, smtp:M
icrosoftExchange329e71ec8
8ae4615bbc36ab6ce41109e@<
domain>, SMTP:Mi
crosoftExchange329e71ec88
ae4615bbc36ab6ce41109e@<d
omain>}
MicrosoftExchangeRecipientReplyRecipient : domain/Users/Postmas
ter
MicrosoftExchangeRecipientPrimarySmtpAddress : MicrosoftExchange329e71ec
88ae4615bbc36ab6ce41109e@
<domain>
MicrosoftExchangeRecipientEmailAddressPolicyEnabled : True

I attempted both Set-OrganizationConfig -MicrosoftExchangeRecipientEmailAddresses postmaster@domain and Set-OrganizationConfig -MicrosoftExchangeRecipientEmailAddresses "Postmaster". Neither accepted the command. The first attempt indicated that the smtp address I entered was already being used. This was a result of having to build a new mailbox with the smtp address automatically configured. I thought that by doing this, I wouldn't get the MicrosoftExchange329e71ec88ae4615bbc36ab6ce41109e@<domain> this is showing in the FROM field of an internal NDR. Am I on the right track?

Just in case anyone is interested, I think the reason you are seeing this address is because of this change in Rollup 7.

The only way to fix this is to either
a. Remove rollup 7
b. Wait for the next rollup which has a fix.
c. Call Microsoft and ask for the interim hotfix which resolves the issue.

dud386, this worked like a charm. Thanks for your help. And BTW, I had recently updated Exchange 2007 to rollup 7.
