I've been unsucessfull in any attempts to setup a rule. It runs through the
mailbox and leaves any messages that are from Sys admin regardless of the
criteria ..

Outlook 2003 / Exchange 2003 sp2

One user (my boss!) is getting inundated with System Administrator
NDR's. I know that these are coming back as a result of a spoofed
email address. 300 + a day! We have anti spam and anti virus in our
enterprise so I know they are propigating from outside.

Anyway, Outlook 2003 will not allow a rule to be created to move all
of these Sys Admin messages out of her Inbox, and I don't want to
disable the NDRs all together.

How can I keep the benefits of NDR's and yet allow my user to have a
"clean" mailbox.

I'm out of ideas

thanks in advance,
Ray

Your disabling NDRs won't do it, anyway - these weren't issued by your
server. They were issued by the recipients' servers, and sent to your boss
because he's the purported sender of the original messages. NDRs have
become less than useful, but it's hard to convince a lot of admins to
disable them outright.

Sadly, I'm not sure what you can do to combat this - other than using your
antivirus/antispam software to prevent delivery of the NDRs for the
spoofed email. You could set up a rule based on "undeliverable" in the
subject line, tho.....
