hi

been there and if i remember right, i cerated a bogus connector and
configured smtp delivery through that connector instead of dns.
all messages have fallen in one only queue and deleted 10 000 at a time !!!
man, it felt good.

in the end, back to dns delivery and deleted the connector.

I have a customer who has been hit by an email scam that has generated
over
140,000 outgoing emails split over about 660 domains on their SBS2003
server.
Is there a way of deleteing ALL outgoing emails in one go rather than
going
into each of the 660 SMTP queues - finding all messages - then deleteing
them? I have frozen the queues so at least the queued emails are not going
but every time the server is rebooted it unfreezes the queues (not very
helpfull) so they start sending and the scam just continues. I understand
SP2
fixes the "scripting" cause of the problem but SP2 keeps failing to
install
with the message "Failed to install catalog files."
If anyone could help I would be most grateful.
Heres hoping, Paul Hollings.
