XADM: NDRs Generated by PF Rules Not Forwarded to the Contacts

 Last reviewed: February 12, 1998
Article ID: Q176183
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When a non-delivery report (NDR) is received for a message that is created by a public folder rule, the NDR is discarded and the rule is marked in error. The affected rule is then disabled as a result. This only occurs for a local NDR and not those that are generated by remote message transfer agents (MTAs).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

MORE INFORMATION

With the fix applied, a registry value is available to control this behavior, as follows: 

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CCS\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersPublic -

   Do Not Mark Rules In Error (DWORD): 0x1 = successful
   Do Not Mark Rules In Error (DWORD): 0x0 = failure
Setting this registry value to 0x1 indicates that the rule will not get into the error state when an NDR occurs.
