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? :-)

Too bad you arent running Exch 2003 SP1 <g>

Why not just create a batch file that deletes the contents every x
hours/days?

I would like to know how people here handle their badmail-folder?

 

I normally try not to open it, because the huge amount of files that can
be in there (spam) that may decrease the proformance as the server lists
those files.

 

Normally I rename the badmail-folder to badmail.old, create straight
away a new badmail-folder and delete the old badmail-folder.

 

Anyone sees problems in this way of working or has better solutions?

 

Thanks in advance,

Rob.
