You can also stop SMTP on the server and then just delete the .eml's in the
queue directory. Although you won't have any overview of what mail you're
deleting, other than comparing the file sizes.

Thanks, stopped servivces renamed the queue folder to queue.old,
started smtp services again and went through deleting all mails from
the new queue folder, but they were all ndr's and not the actual
emails in the queue in system manager? Nothing in the old queue folder
either any other random locations these would be stored? checked
badmail folder this was also empty...

*scratches head*

Badmail is disabled by default starting with Exchange 2003 Sp1.
The SMTP queue directory is just that, messages that are being
delivered/sent by the SMTP service. I doubt you will see any of the
messages you are looking for there.

What queue are they in?
If you use message tracking ( assuming its enabled), how far does the
message get before it stops?- Hide quoted text -

Ahh right good to know about the badmail directory, cheers.

The queue i'm looking at is from Exchange System Manager

--> Servers, SERVERNAME, Queues...

About 300 large emails in there that don't seem to be doing much,
can't seem to shift them!
