Badmail

[INT1973]

Is there a setting in Exchange to reject/delete email that is sent to recipients that do not exist ? I have to delete files from the Badmail folder so often. I now setup a schduled task to do that once a day. I had 8 Gigs of files in badmail folder and it keeps filling up again.

Any other ideas ?
Thanks

Not in E2K, it is a feature of E2K3 however.

You can write a script to delete the badmail folder as often as you'd like.
