John, I didn't say the ACL change was the ONLY way.
I use the script because I use the information in the badmail logs for
debugging. In fact, the first change I made to my Exchange 2003 sp1
servers was to turn badmail back on. But I turn NDR's off, so my badmail
is small to start with.
The ACL change has several distinct advantages, first and foremost: the
files never get created in the first place. Which is more efficient on
older versions of Exchange.

I stand partially corrected.
That script does have an option to "disable" by changing the
permissions. I had not noticed that before.
However, please show in quoted text where that is the right way to do
that.
I maintain 2 Exchange servers and consult on 3 others and not one of
those has any problem with the badmail folder by using a simple script,
including 2 that use the script you have posted on your blog and on here
before. (Have not got around to changing the scripts on the other 3.)
In fact, rereading your blog, it appears you are saying the simple
delete script is the way to go.

No, I am not wrong. You are.
Like I said John, look at the script. Here is your quoted text, straight
from the script:
'*************************************************
' Procedure DisableBadmail
'
' Disables badmail from being written to disk by
' restricting the permissions on a given folder.
' (this is done by adding a DENY FULL CONTROL ACE
' for the local system account).
'
'*************************************************

Well dude, hate to say you are wrong, but you are wrong. The script
does/says nothing about changing permissions on that folder.
No where does any thing say to change the permissions of the badmail
folder to deny to the system account.
Please post quoted text stating that it is the right way to change the
permissions on that folder to deny for system!

Really, dude?
Why don't you check out the Badmail Deletion and Archiving script,
available from Microsoft's download site.
Look at how it turns off Badmail creation for versions of Exchange 200x
prior to Exchange 2003 sp1.
It does EXACTLY what I said.
It's the RIGHT way to do it.

That would be the wrong way to go about it.

Why not just put an explicit deny full control for localsystem on the
folder? :-)
