Use this dialog box to create a Roundtrip Internet session that monitors the round trip mail response time between the Exchange Server and any foreign mail server that has an Internet connector. When you create a Roundtrip Internet session, PATROL sends an e-mail message to the Internet mail server using an invalid e-mail address and measures the time required to receive back a non-delivery report (NDR).
