In my exchange 2003 server the queue name is "SMTP - mailarchive.mydomain.net <http://mailarchive.mydomain.net/> (SMTP Connector)". any of you have a script that could clear this queue up? I already deleted the SMTP Connector in 'Routing Groups --> Connectors" any help, i'd be happy! -Ben ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
