Its safe to delete them, if you upgrade to Exchange 2003 SP1 you wont get badmail anymore, its been disabled by default, you can also use the Badmail Archive and Deletion Script from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=782AAF0F-6239-40AD- ADDA-97863D852FF7&displaylang=en Mark Fugatt -----Original Message----- From: A.

If I delete all files in badmail, do I have to restart exchange or anything else? Also, is there an automated way to purge badmail files that are more than x days old? best regards Mike ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: mark@xxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
