Is there a way or a procedure to move messages back from the badmail to the
queue folder?
We had some issues today and I really need to queue those badmail messages
back up.
IIS5 / W2K Server.
Thanks

I think the original message is placed in the /Inetpub/mailroot/badmail
folder with the extension of *.BAD. There are two other files that have some
error messages (*.BDP/*.BDR) in them. You can ignore them. Just move the
*.BAD files to the pickup directory. The SMTP server will attempt to send
them again.

Be careful about this operation, as the SMTP server will send the messages
to all the valid recipients listed in the TO/CC and BCC fields. If the
message originated from somewhere else, your SMTP server will try to send it
again as if it originated from your server. In other words, you will be
manually relaying any received messages.
