Yes, you can delete thos emails
Hi Panos83,
The emails which is present in the badmail folder of SMS SMTP are junk emails, you can manually delete those emails by selecting them all & say delete like a normal files.

Hello,
In general, the badmail folder in our delivery queue is going to act the same as you would expect to see from IIS. These are sent or received messages that were unable to be delivered for the time allowed by the MTA depending on your configuration. The MTA will attempt to retry to send the message until it times out. When the message times out, badmail is where is places the messages.
In most cases, these are going to be NDRs. So as Laeek mentioned, these would be safe to delete. If you are potentially concerned with the emails that were unable to send, you can always take a look at the .bad file to see what the content of the messages are.
Hope this helps!
Tom
