We got some mail stuck in one of the SMTP connector
queues. Tried selecting the mail in the queue and
choosing delete without ndr several times but the mail
still remain. The subject of the mail states subject is
hidden. How do I get rid of these mail.

Then I have another question. In Exchange 2003 SP1 the
badmail is automatically deleted. I have a customer who
thinks it's great if the mail is deleted but still wants
the NDR mail from the system. The problem is that the NDR
mail he recieves does not state the senders e-mail adress
just that the recievers e-mail does not exist. Is it
possible to get a notification who sent the mail?
