catch all email   

For some strange reason, I started recieving emails that teh sender would 
have normally gotten an NDR.

I didn't do anythign to my exchange recently, so I don't know why this 
started.

Where in exchange do I set so that if an email address does not exsist, an 
NDR gets set out?

Enable recipient filtering; if you have catch-all enabled recipient
filtering will take precedence.

That's how it works already. If you're getting the mail, and are not using 
any third party software/event sinks that will work for "catchall" mail, the 
reason you got the message is that you were in one of the To, CC, or BCC 
fields.

As a test, from an outside e-mail account, try sending an email to 
wqdlcdjvjrkifshdshfds@yourdomain.com (or something equally unlikely to 
exist) and see whether it gets delivered. You should get an NDR, unless 
you've disabled NDRs entirely.

Alas, this is Exchange 2000.....won't exist. His server should be sending 
NDRs as is.
