What is an BDR file?

.BDR files, with the file extension “.BDR,” are associated with Exchange Non-Delivery Reports (NDRs). These files contain the body text of email non-delivery reports generated by Microsoft Exchange Server or other email systems.

Non-Delivery Reports are sent when an email message cannot be delivered to its intended recipient, providing information about the delivery failure.

More Information.

The concept of Non-Delivery Reports has been a part of email systems for a long time. .BDR files were introduced to separate the body text of these reports from the rest of the email infrastructure.

They serve the purpose of storing and presenting the detailed information regarding delivery failures to email administrators and users.

Origin Of This File.

.BDR files originate from email servers and systems, primarily Microsoft Exchange Server.

When an email cannot be delivered, the server generates a Non-Delivery Report, which includes details about the failure, recipient information, and the body of the NDR.The body of the NDR is typically stored in a BDR file.

File Structure Technical Specification.

.BDR files are usually plain text files, often in a structured format such as HTML or plain text. They contain information about the failed email delivery, including error codes, sender, recipient, subject, and additional details about the failure.

While the specific structure may vary based on the email server or client generating the NDR, BDR files are generally human-readable and can be opened with a text editor.
