What version is the vsi folder in?  I have 5.5 and I do not have it.  Is
this bad?

Not a flaw really, it's by design.  It's also meant to be used for
figuring out mail issues, although most people automated a .bat file to
purge it nightly.  I had somewhere around 13 gigs in mine over the past
6 months or so.  I estimated it to be over 1 million files.  I ran a del
*.* in command line and it ran for hours and hours but failed out on
some in-use files.  I have to do it again tonight to get the other half.

MS needs to build in an auto-purge feature on it, so you don't have to
task schedule your own.

Ndr's from all the spam.  When we first found out about it, it had
filled up the disk.  It originally had 8 gig free.  We now run a nightly
script that segregates it out into days of the week (25 - 50 meg a nite
is purged).  On the eighth day that days mail is purged. =20

This is a flaw Microsoft has documented if you search for it on there
Knowledge Base.

Thanks

I am running a virus scan on my exchange server and it is finding a ton
of infected files in the exchsvr\vsi\badmail folder.  What is the
badmail folder for why would there be so many files in there.
