Yes. Stop the SMTP service, go to the exchange server program files, then go to \mailroot\vs2\queue and delete everything manually from there. Keep in mind that if there are valid emails there you will delete those as well. So double check before deleting anything -----Original Message----- From: sailordwarf@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sailordwarf@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 3:53 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Spam http://www.MSExchange.org/ We were recently used as a relay, even though the system was previously configured to prevent it. To solve the problem a new smtp virtual server was created and the default one disabled, as it can't be deleted. The problem is that after a reboot the default smtp server re-enabled and started sending spam out again. Is there a way to flush the default smtp server, so we can return to using it. Thanks for any help.
