Subject: RE: [DSBL-Contact] listing question
All good Microsoftware makes you do the Gates Two Step. Exchange 2000 is no
exception... This little dance took about a week to pick up. Most of the
time looking at DSBL.Com saying "What the ?!#?!* do you want..." That's
were that "Wait (1) week" msg really got to me.
To configure Exchange 2000 to accept (and deliver!) postmaster@[x.x.x.x] or
@x.x.x.x
Short version:
1. Create a "RECIPIENT POLICY" to accept @[x.x.x.x].
2. Create a "postmaster@[x.x.x.x] alias on an existing account.
Step by step version:
1. Configure a Exchange System Manager Recipient Policy.
-Under Recipients-> Recipients Policy -> New
-select "E-mail Addresses"
-add simple display name like "IP literal with brackets"
-Don't add a filter! Skip to the second tab "E-mail addresses
(Policy)"
-choose 'NEW...'
-choose 'SMTP Address'
-enter @[x.x.x.x] //those x's should be numbers. your number.
-select your entry //I don't know why, just make sure you check
the box
-Apply changes and save.
FYI - If you get a msg to "Update all records..." answer NO.
2. Add a postmaster@[x.x.x.x] alias to an existing account.
-in Active Directory User Mgr
-select a user -> properties -> E-mail addresses
-choose NEW...
-choose CUSTOM ADDRESS // Don't choose smtp! Bill G will not
allow a [ in the address
-enter Postmaster@[x.x.x.x]
-enter type as 'smtp' // Smile, you just fooled Bill.
// Now make a sad face because we still paid
him for this crap -apply and save
3. Do it all again without brackets for postmaster@x.x.x.x
Defeating the Black Knight,
Dan

Hope this helps.
