I clean out the Postmaster account every Friday. Permanently deleting all bogus hits and keeping legitimate ones. I archive those the 1st of every month. ________________________________ From: chrsta [mailto:chrsta@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 4:29 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Fwd: RE: Maintaining Postmaster.... http://www.MSExchange.org/ Does anyone else have any thoughts on this subject? After a couple of months of neglect our Postmaster mailbox has reached almost 500 MB. I was wondering how others subscribed to this list manage their Postmaster mailbox? Are you deleting all after every couple of months or archiving to a PST file? Or does someone manually manage the mailbox, i.e. by checking NDRs, notifications, etc., every month or so? We are concerned that a 'delete all' approach may have some legal ramifications later down the line. Is there a 'best practice'?? :-) Environment is Exch 5.5, soon to be Exch 2003.
