I'm not a Guru of the list, but the BadMail folder is a last resort folder for messages that can't be delivered AND the NDR fails. The amount of messages in that folder would make sense given what you've said.
To the issue of the address still being there: What addresses are in your default Recipient Policy, or did you have a separate policy for the temporary address? -----Original Message----- From: tech forum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 11:43 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Bad Mail Gurus of the list. Exchange 2000 SP2 Windows 2000 Server SP2. I have an Exchange 2000 network and a few users have recently complained of slow external mail delivery, three hour delivery being common. I looked through the queues and I was confused by what I saw. I read the articles in Tony Redmonds book and searched the normal FAQs and MS support, although helpful information it doesn't help me understand what I am seeing. Looking at the the queue I see the normal stuff that I would expect: Domain.com local delivery Messages with .... And a few others Then I see 54 entries of wrongname.domain.com to a load of different domains, with anywhere between 0 and 250 messages. When we first set up the Exchange 2000 server we set wrongname.domain.com as an alternative address for every users account then took it off the recipient policy but those aliases still exist. I also went to the Bad Mail folder and found 100,814 entires in there. Any ideas what is wrong here. Also does Exchange have a way to delete the Bad Mail after a certain point?
