SUMMARY

Messages sent from Exchange Mail Clients end up in the Exchsrvr\connect\msmcon\maildata\macgate\BADMAIL subdirectory.

This directory is a repository for any message that could not be delivered by the Microsoft Mail for Appletalk Connector.

MORE INFORMATION

When a message is sent from an Exchange client to the Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks client the Microsoft Exchange Server uses the Microsoft Mail for Appletalk Connector to transfer the message. If the Microsoft Mail for Appletalk Connector is not able to deliver the message the Microsoft Mail for Appletalk Connector transfers the message to the BADMAIL directory. The same scenario applies to messages going from Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks client to the Exchange client.

The purpose of the directory is to ensure that the Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Connector does not discard bad messages.
