The bdr file extension is associated with Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft's mail server software for Windows Server.
The file contains information about why message delivery failed, such as an error code, the sender, and the intended recipients. Exchange creates and uses the file as part of its server-side handling of delivery failures.
BDR files are technical server files rather than user documents. They are generally encountered on an Exchange server.
A BDR file can usually be viewed as text on Windows with a plain-text editor. The contents may be technical and may not provide a complete, user-friendly non-delivery report.
Because the file is generated for Microsoft Exchange Server's internal mail handling, Exchange administrators should normally inspect it in the context of the server and its mail-delivery logs.
There is no meaningful general-purpose conversion for a BDR file. It is a server-generated report body, not an editable document format.
If a different format is required for reference, the readable contents can be copied or saved as plain text. This preserves the report information but does not create another Exchange report file.
