This is what I do:
Open notepad, paste in the following line (default location, yours may be
different)
del "C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mailroot\vsi 1\BadMail\*" /q
Save with a .cmd extention (not .txt)
Double click the file to check operation (place a dummy file in badmail
folder if you want).
Using task scheduler, schedule the .cmd to run as often as you think you
need. Mine goes once per day.
