RE: Messages from ending up in badmail folder

I'm Having the same porblem with MY SBS server it is a probelm with Blind
Carbon Copy. for me!

I have asked a number of times and the asnwer seems to be use the SMTP
connector instead of the POP.

If you check the mailes in the failed box this will give you an idea of who
they go to all of the Mail that I have seen in my Failed box seem to be Junk!

It is just very anoying as i get about 2-30 failures a day and it makes the
system report look bad! and mailes are lost!,

I an hopefully trying the SMTP this weekend if all works I will post back
and let you know!

I have been researching this problem for some days now and I'm stuck :-S

I have a client running a SBS 2003 server, picking up mail via the POP3
connector from their ISP. 99% of all mails goes through, but mails from some
email-adresses ends up in the badmail folder every time.

The server is fully updated, and is running 2 NIC's for internal and
external networks. The external NIC is connected to an ADSL-router on the
192.168.0.x net.

I have turned on the message-tracking logs which states the following for
the messages in question.

Event: SMTP: Advanced queue failed to deliver message
EventID: 1026
Event: SMTP: Message sent to badmail
EventID: 1021

and nothing more.

I have turned on diagnostic logging for the POP3 connector which reports
nothing, which makes sense since e-mail are transferred to the badmail folder
only when processed by the SMTP connector after the POP3 and CDO processes
has moved them all the way to the pickup folder.

I have maximum logging level on the following services:
MSExchangeTransport/Routing Engine
MSExchangeTransport/Connection Manager
MSExchangeTransport/Queuing Enginge
MSExchangeTransport/SMTP Protocol
And cannot find anything suspicious from these in the logs.

The only articles I have been able to find about this problem has been
talking about setting the maximum hop count to 30, it is allready set.

And a KB article about experiencing these problems when behind certain
firewalls. But to my knowledge there is no firewall besides the router, which
only forwards the ports necessary for SBS.

I'm leaning towards the posibility of errors in the message headers in these
mails, but can't find anything on the net talking about this - so I guess
that's not the case.

Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!
