MS Exchange 2019 send delivery report to each email

Question

Hello, my exchange server sends delivery reports to one of the admin accounts for any emails that come through even an external address.

How can I stop this behavior?

Answer 1

Hi @Sem Anikin ,

 

I've had the same problem before. According to my experiment, in the EAC left panel, please locate compliance management>journal rules, check if the admin account in question is set as a Journaling mailbox in a journal rule. If yes, uncheck the rule or change the journaling mailbox to another mailbox instead and then try again.

Hi @Jarvis Sun-MSFT , thanks for your reply. I have checked journal rules in EAC and with powershell. There is no rules in my configuration.

But when I created new journal rule and then disabled it, everythings become normal.
