[THIN] Re: Deleting Ex2k BadMail directory

Another thought is to run something like AdAware on this system to help
identify all the running services. It makes a nice list for you and is
freeware. Careful though on letting it make any changes.

        Can you check the items in the queue directory to see the nature
of the messages? May be virus driven by one of your clients, or if it is
obviously spam, someone may have compromised your system.

                I unchecked that setting.

                You may have to change domain passwords since the
typical setting is to allow relay on authentication.

                        This seems to be a something else. I've taken
relaying off of our mailservers, all machines up to date with
patches/AV... the mailserver tries to make ~50 outbound connections per
second. Bizarre.

                        I'm not sure it's doing anything though in this
instance, since my drive space has been 31.5gb free for about an hour
and a half. :-)

                        We run a batch file that changes to the badmail
dir, then del *.* /q. This is scheduled to run weekly from the AT
scheduler. Works well.

                                We tried the del *.* but it freaked out.

                                We used the rm.exe command (ported from
unix) and it worked FAST. (Windows Resource Kit)

                                Go to the command line set your default
into the directory and delete the contents (del *.*) . If you try from
explorer, it will crash. It cannot handle the amount of messages that
appear there.
