Deleting mail from Badmail folder

The Badmail folder has suddenly increased to a huge size (16gb) and I
cannot access it to delete the files. We have been attacked by
spoofers, I have tried to run the badmaildelete.exe from microsoft but
i am getting runtime errors. Does anyone know of any issues with this
script, I have also thought about just doing del*.* but am not sure how
this will affect the DB integrity, as we have had some smtp issues in
the past which have affected the edb files.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
Rob
