We are having an issue where our Exchange 2003 Administrator's mailbox is filling up with Undeliverable messages... probably like several dozen a MINUTE. I set up a rule to delete them as they come in, but that doesn't permanently remove them, and I still have to clean out the Deleted Items folder by hand. There are so many of these currently in the system that it's taking me way too long to clean them out... like a guy with a bucket trying to clean up a dam break. I don't want to just Empty Deleted Items from the menu in OWA, because it puts too much strain on the server. Any suggestions on how to quickly clean up the mailbox and then keep these nasties from filling it up again? Thanks! -Ben
Never mind on the Undeliverables... I figured out that recipient filtering was off. I still would like to find an easy way to empty out this mailbox, if someone has an idea.
