Recipient domain does not exist in DNS

I had this question after viewing forward email sent to a specific exchange mailbox onto internal Sharepoint email address?.

I have configured the steps  suggested and sending a test email to the exchange mailbox with delivery receipt turned on i get the below automatic email as below:

Generating server: server-4.bemta-3.messagelabs.com

info@nai54.at01.azas.org
#< #5.7.0 smtp; 551 5.7.0 recipient domain does not exist in DNS> #SMTP#

I guess I need to add a a new forward lookup domain in DNS for this domain? (info@nai54.at01.azas.org is the new exchange contact email address that the email should forward to) delivery to the exchange mailbox address is successful.


Thanks

Can you please confirm email address which is added on contact is valid or no, try verifying if the e-mail exists at www.verifyemailaddress.org

While Creating contact object on Exchange Server you must have specified email address which is not valid.
Does  internal Microsoft Sharepoint 2010 email address has mailbox?

Thanks all for your feedback.
i did the suggested test and the email contact address syntax is correct but there is no valid mx resource record
no the internal sharepoint address does not have its own mailbox.

Exchange and sharepoint are located on LAN

Pune Tech - your latest update sounds like what i'm trying to do. im looking into this, not sure where to find/check the target document library at moment.
Thanks a lot all for your help. In this case Pune Tech your suggestion did the trick for what we needed.
Sorry about the delay getting back to you - it took some time to find out for sure what it was we needed and what the users were expecting.
