Customize undeliverable (NDR) messages

article #352, updated 4804 days ago

In Exchange 2007 and above, it is possible to customize the bounceback messages Exchange sends for undeliverables, including adding telephone numbers, URLs, et cetera.

To get current customized messages:

Get-SystemMessage

To get the full set of originals:

Get-SystemMessage –Original > c:\original_ndrs.txt

To set a new one:

New-SystemMessage -DsnCode 5.7.1 -Internal:$True -Language en -Text "Sorry, the email could not be delivered..."

Note the DSN code; there are many, and you will need to set the one(s) whose NDR you want to change. Some HTML is permitted.
