I want to set a particular email recipient to receive all mail from a particular domain -
What do I need to put in front of @domain.co.uk for this to happen?
Any help gratefully received !

Good question!
I'm reading as that an Exchange Server is handling mail for a domain and you want a global catch all (a la POP3) to send all messages to a single mailbox (without getting stacks of NDRs).
Hmmm!

Hi russell,
Sound like a dodgy request to me
I don't tink there is a global option to do this, but you could do one of two things.
Create a forward for each of the individuals that you want to receive mail from. Or, as Administrator, set the permissions on each of the mailboxes so that admin has the ability to open their mailboxes within the admins mail client. I'm assuming your using Outlook
Nothing wrong with MAILsweeper.

I'm not sure about forwarding all mail from one domain to a single mailbox.
You can add "Internet Mail" addresses to a mailbox, i.e. more than one. E.g. adding "a@me.com", "b@me.com", "c@me.com" etc... to the properties of the mail box will get all the mail destined for those email address.
Mailsweeper is cool
You can set up the scenarios to do that but requires spending more money 
Hope this helps

Thanks guys.
Had a total data loss (theft !) and had to reinstall NT then went over the top from a backup tape.
This mail problem arose because I *thought* I had done it before in Exchange, but i don't think I had actually !
This was compounded by unknown mail addresses not being delivered to the Administrator. Eventually tracked this down due to the Administrators name (me ) being entered slightly differently on the rebuild as compared to the restore, so it didn't actually exist !
Anyway, normal service is now resumed.
Anyone know if you can get a copy of all outbound mail sent to the Administrator ?
Also, can anyone give me the low-down on Mailsweeper without me having to read through loads of stuff I don't understand ?

Don’t know what sort of size your company is or budget etc but…
Mailsweeper is a great product, but it really one for the big boys. The number of times I have looked at an installation where the customer got it for the name and left 70% of the functionality un-used. Also you still have to buy a virus checker on top so it can be very expensive. If you are looking for a large installation the other main player is http://www.tumbleweed.com/en/products/.
If you’re a medium or small company (or content control/policy enforcement/ etc is not your requirement) and all you want is a good SMTP relay and/or virus email checker, installed on the Exchange server or not have a look at the TrendMicro products http://www.antivirus.com/.
There are others of course, but these three are the ones I know very well.

Russell,
if you run Exchange 5.5, not sure about 5. You have to enable message journaling. This will put an increase load on the MTA of the server. You get inbound and outbound mail delivered to a mailbox of your choice.
This is dangerous stuff, so the usual disclaimer. Don't blame me if it goes wrong......
1. Create the mailbox you want all messages sent to.
2. Use a command prompt, goto admim program directory.
3. Type the following "admin /r"
4. Be very careful now. Find the admin mailbox you want to use. Select it and use "File/Raw Properties" in the menu.
5. In Object attributes box select "Obj-Dist-Name" and copy contents of the Edit value.
6. Open the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\MSExchangeMTA\Parameters"
7. Add a new string named "Journal Recipient Name". Set value to the DN name you copied earlier.
8. Add a new DWORD named "Per-Site Journal Required" Set value to "0". This will enable Organisation level journaling.
9. Goto regisrty key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem"
10. Add a new DWORD named "No Local Delivery". Set value to "1"
11. Goto registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\MSExchangeIMC\Parameters"
12. Add a new DWORD named "ReRouteViaStore". Set value to "1".
Sorry about the length but remembered it to be easier than this. Doh.
Hopefully this should benefit someone...

I think Mailsweeper would be a bit OTT cos there are only 12 of us.
One more question :-
Using Outlook 2000 on the workstations. Is it pssible to synchronize somehow so a copy of the mailbox is kept on the workstation as well as the server ?

In Tools> Services > Exchange Server
Enable off-line folders. Point the OST file to the C: drive and you can synch a copy of the Exchange mailbox into the OST on the local PC.
