[Exchange]Creating a bitbucket - 2006/05/10 11:52
Sometimes when co-workers leave the firm, it turns out they're subscribed to the most fantastic mailinglists available. At start you keep an eye of the mailbox, but after a while only spam and other unwanted sh*t is recieved.
I often try to unsubscribe from those lists, often to no effect. Since sending NDRs uses up precious bandwith and consumes DB space I went for a way just to delete the mail, without doing anything with it.
at last I found it:
(cut-paste
Steps to follow to create a blackhole:
1. In the Active Directory Users and Computers app (which is found under Start / Programs / Administrative Tools on your domain controller) create a mail-enabled Universal Distribution Group. Do not add any members to the group.
2. Go to the properties of this Distribution Group. In the tab "E-mail Addresses" add the SMTP addresses of the ex-employees.
3. Mail sent to these addresses will be "distributed" to no one, since the distribution group is empty. In the process the messages will be deleted and no space will be consumed in the database.
