Len,
Your method was very helpful. I think I may have narrowed it down to a
couple of messages (so far, I still have 6,000 messages to go), but one
message in particular I am unable to delete. It's got the ~ symbol in the
queue and spool directory so it's in process. I delete it out of the queue,
but it keeps coming back. I delete out of the spool directory, but it
keeps magically reappearing. I delete it out of the spool and queue
simultaneously and, you guessed it, it's there again. I figure out this
rate, I've got a "special" server on my hands, a magical server. I probably
will be able to retire from the fame and fortune it's going to bring me.
Any help on getting these in process messages deleted would forever put you
on a pedestal in my eyes.
Also, I'm curious, how does this happen in the first place? What causes a
message to go bad and how can I prevent it from happening? It looks like
the message was one that was sent out to a small list (about 3000 members).
Thanks,
Ryan

Deleting it is easy, finding it isn't. If that is the cause.
Do the "move all to \save and move some back" shuffle to get the mail
delivered, an until a batch of 100 has the bad msg. And keep the NT
task mgr list on the screen (set it to "stay on top", sounds like fun)
