Q273907: XCON: Restrictions Aren’t Always Checked for Alternate Recipient

Article: Q273907
Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): 5.5
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): exc55
Last Modified: 23-OCT-2000

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Routing restrictions on the Internet Mail Service do not work for an alternate
recipient when the mailbox is on the same server as the Internet Mail Service.

RESOLUTION
==========

This feature is working by product design.

WORKAROUND
==========

To avoid this behavior, move the mailbox with alternate recipient to another
server in the site. After you do so, the message will generate a non-delivery
report (NDR) as expected.
