Yet another request to force MS's brain dead SMTP service to process it's queue

I SMTP relay into an exchange server. Something magical happened sometime
over the holiday weekend and now I have 4,000 stupid NDR emails along with
some actual valid emails sitting in my SMTP queue. I yanked all the delivery
times down to 1 minute and squashed all connection timeouts to 1 minute yet
I sit here an hour later waiting for this stupid SMTP server to make it
through the queue. What else is there to get this pile of garbage to
respond?

"Industrial strength SMTP server" my patootie.
