The only messages that end up in the badmail folder should be NDRs that are in response to NDRs. Because an NDR has no return address (on purpose), when you can't deliver an NDR, you have to do something special. Exchange 2000 puts such messages in the badmail directory.
I can't recommend putting them back into pickup, in most cases that will just result in them going back into badmail. -----Original Message----- From: Rickenbacher Beat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 2:42 PM To: Exchange Discussions If you're having the time you can open the *.bad files and change the TO:-address to your own email address. Then rename the *.bad files to *.msg (*.eml, or...) and put them to the pickup folder. Happy reading! One occasion I know when mails are going to the badmail folder: The SMTP service is up but the Store Service is down. So no mail can be delivered to the store. After some retries the administrator error message (NDR for Admin) including the mail will be stored in the Badmail folder. I don't know of a tool which could read this messages to allow you to easily forward selected mails. Sure, renaming the *.bad file and put them to the pickup folder will forward this kind of message to the administrator.

Mai 2002 18:01 An: Exchange Discussions Betreff: Bad amil folder management I have searched and found nothing that discusses what to do with the badmail folder files. Can someone point me toward a resource? I certainly hope this question is not along the lines of the M directory.
