Hi,
we are running IIS5.
In case of bulk mails (50k mails) the lot of mails written to mailroot\Badmail
and it cause to problem in sending process.
We would like to delete incoming badmails something like BadMailAdmin.exe
in case of Exchange http://support.microsoft.com/kb/867642/en-us
Is it possible to cancel or to limits the writing into Badmail?
Thanks

You can't limit them, only remove them with a batch file and a
scheduled task. But the solution is not to generate badmail in the
first place. If you have that many, your bulk mail list is not clean,
and you probably haven't got an exisitng business relationship with
the addresses you have. Which means you'll get blacklisted quickly
anyway, increasing your badmail dramtically.

Plus, you found out that the SMTP service in Windows is not an ideal
bulk mailer.
