My org uses Mailman (http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman.html) in conjunction with Postfix. It can determine bad addresses by a configurable number of bounces and disable or remove them from the list. Why re-invent the wheel by forcing Exchange to do something it's not meant for? That said, you could probably write a script that would parse the headers of the messages in badmail and tally the results to a database or spreadsheet. But then again, you said "easy" didn't you?

Please fix your SPAM filter as well; "[SPAM: Type H] Email found in subject" is being added by your email system. Now to answer your question, in my opinion Exchange was not designed to be a mailing listserv MTA (Mail Transfer Agent a.k.a SMTP mail server), therefore I would recommend setting up a Pentium (whatever, at least 200Mhz) with at least 128MB of RAM and read some of the documentation at www.postfix.org, then install it. Here is some more great info: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/21/postfix.html You can email me off list if you decide to go with my recommendation.

Badmail fills up quite quickly and I would like to just run the deletescript every day. The department that sends these emails wants to know if we can parse the badmail folder so they can find out which email addresses are bad so they won't send them out anymore. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this? > > thanks > Amy
