Are you sure you don't have an error in the application log referencing a BAD message? The error appears just like that - with BAD in caps.

The IMS just started to die without reason, no log anywhere. When restarted it does work for some seconds to die again even before the control panel thingy stops to animate its icon. Push up every IMS log available, restart.. nothing special anywhere, nothing in the event viewer, nothing (appareantly) different than usual in the exchsrvr\imcdata\log logs. So I raised it's cost, add another connector on another server with cost 1, change firewall and mail gateway, recalculate routing, now mail at least is flowing again but I still don't know what happened, and the queues of the old connector seem to be rather full. So for now I'm running a batch trying to start the connector every 30 seconds, some mail goes out, die, loop. Any idea ? It should not be a malformed incoming mail - everything waiting went to the new connector. Could be a outgoing mail, eventually (I hope) everyhting present now in the old connector queues will go out except that one, but how could I check ? The connector won't stay up long enough to check with axhange admin, at least the queue tab keeps staying grayed out. That machine had no change lately, there's no local antivirus, no disk defragger, no freshly installed software. Addendum: Now even worse. Trying to restart the service it seems to leave behind pieces in imcdata/out, and keeps adding them to the spool - which means a growing queue and multiple sent emails. ANY idea please ?
