Any (easy) way to disable badmail or the NDR in Server 2003 SMPT?

Disable Badmail? Just clear the files out nightly if you don't to see
them, but Badmail is the double-bounce archive (not simple bounces),
and in normal operation you should only see mail in there whose sender
and recipient were both invalid.

What is your intended purpose in disabling NDRs?

One of our users got his email account compromised or phished, not
sure what as I disabled his account and he's not contacted me yet...

Problem is that thousands of spams were sent with his account, and now
they are bouncing and bouncing and bouncing... NDAs though initially
useful, are today just a clogging, resource wasting feature that
virtually every email user ignores.

Sorry, I'm ranting, aren't I? <g>
