Subject: RE: SMTP Crazyness

Hello

Thanks for your posting back.

These messages will disappear by themselves. Exchange Server tries to
deliver e-mail based on the specific settings for the SMTP Virtual Server.
After these delivery thresholds have been met, Exchange Server stops trying
to deliver the e-mail and moves the messages out of the SMTP queues into a
BadMail folder.

Also, you can manually delete them from queues. To do so:

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and
then click System Manager.
2. Double-click Servers, double-click the server that you want, and then
click Queues.

Note If you have administrative groups defined, double-click Administrative
Groups, double-click Administrative_Group_Name (where
Administrative_Group_Name is the group that contains the queue you want),
double-click Servers, double-click the server that you want, and then click
Queues.
3. Right-click the queue that you want to modify, and then click Freeze to
freeze the queue.
4. Click Find Messages, and then click Find Now to find messages in the
queue.
5. Right-click the message that you want to delete, and then click one of
the following options:
" Click Delete (no NDR) to delete messages from the queue without sending a
non-delivery report (NDR) to the senders.
" Click Delete (with NDR) to delete messages from the queue and send an NDR
to the senders of the messages.
Note To delete several messages that are next to each other, click the
first message, hold down SHIFT and click the last message, right-click one
of the selected messages, and then click either Delete (no NDR) or Delete
(with NDR). To delete several messages that are not next to each other,
click the first message, hold down CTRL and click additional messages,
right-click one of the selected messages, and then click either Delete (no
NDR) or Delete (with NDR).
6. When you are prompted to delete the messages in the queue, click Yes.

In addition, this behavior may be related to spam. I suggest you take a
