exchange 2003/2010 mixed environment NDR issue
Hi All,
I have a mixed environment with 1x Exchange 2003 and 1x Exchange 2010 server.
everything works fine with the exception of NDR (non-deliverable replies).
I have an internal connector betwen the 2 Exchange server with the below mail flow:
User sends email ==> Exchange 2010 ==> Exchange 2003 (Mail.company.com) ==> internet
external internet user sends email ==> (mx record: mail.company.com) smtp/perimeter server w/ antispam/antivirus software ==> Exchange 2003 ==> exchange 2010 ==> recipients
When I'm checking the queue vis System Manager, I often notice a connection queue for Mail.company.com with emails sending from postmaster@company.com...w
So I'm thinking there's a setting somewhere that i need to change so that when postmaster is replying, that the emails will be sent to user@company.com.
Any clue where I might need to change this?

On another note, why don't you change the inbound Internet mail to come into Exchange 2010? You are going to have to do this at some stage when you want to decommission Exchange 2003

The NDR message is stuck in the exchange 2003 queue.
Emails are pointed to our perimeter smtp server cause it has our anti-virus/spam software on it that filters the emails and forwards to exchange 2003...I'll be decommissioning Exchange 2003 within two weeks, in which point, the emails will be directed to Exchange 2010.

Why don't you just test redirecting it to Exchange 2010 now and see if that gets rid of your NDR issue too?
