I have set up the sink as in “http://support.microsoft.com/?id=315631″
And tested the sink using telnet as described in the article.

The problme is that mail is not getting to my new virtual server from the drfault virtual server.
It is being stuck in the deferred delivery queue

Hello,

When you say you want to collect mail from all unresolved recipients, are you referring to former employees or mailboxes that once were active and now no longer exist on your server? If this is all your looking to do, you can very simply set up a mailbox on your server (AD => mail enabled account) and to the SMTP addresses add an entry for all former employees. This will act as a catch all for any mail sent to those addresses which no longer reside on your server but may still have mail being sent to them.You can then use mailbox rules or functions to do with what you want with the collected messages, i.e forward, delete, file etc. Keep in mind, though this method does work,but your going to catch all the junk mail as well as the good from all of these past users so adminstrative maintenance is required to keep it under control. You may want to set a limit like 30 or 60 days or so to collect old user mail then remove their SMTP address from the list. Usually after 60 days of an employee leaving a company you’ve seined any usefull mail and now anything else coming in is going to be junk.

If what your after is something on a higher level and you don’t get a suitable answer, include more detail in what your trying to accomplish with your next post.

Good Luck!
