NDR's not being sent to external customers
Hi All,
We are having an issue at work whereby each time a message is sent from any external source (the domain can be any) to an invalid address on our domain, for example, an old email or a miss-spelling, an NDR is being created but instead of being sent to the sender, it is sitting in a queue on our server. In the queue window, the Source for these messages is TLS and the additional information reads - The remote SMTP service does not support TLS.
We are running MS Exchange 2003, we do use TLS however, we have a separate virtual server and connectors which has this enabled. Can anyone suggest why this is happening? In the Default SMTP Virtual Server TLS is definitely unchecked.
Here is a picture of the queue itself;

Hi folks, some progress has been made, we have managed to clear our queue, by adding our TLS virtual server into the SMTP Connector list of local bridgeheads. However, while this does help us in the immediate, it does not help us answer the question of why our TLS virtual server is creating NDR's rather than our default SMTP server...
-Renazonse - yes, I have checked through them, and almost all of them seem to be genuine...I will have a double check to confirm this now just in case though..thank you
