Deleting The Queue Withouth Finding Message

[idemoya]

One of our Exchange 2003 servers relay was misconfigured. There are approx. (1300+) queues in the list with (20000+) messages. All spam. I sucessfully froze the queues but now I want to delte them.

I know I can go to each individual queue and "Find Message" and delte them sending no NDR. But this will take all day. Is there an alternative method where I could just delete the queue without having to go thru all the messages?

Thanks

Ivan

You could, without too much work, just decrease the time-outs. They are usually set to around 5 days before a queue gives up, reduce it as low as you can/wish and wait, they'll 'dissolve' by themselves.
