DO NOT follow Crazyfitz advice here PLEASE!
Handle your Exchange as it should, like youlie explained, NOT by manually deleting files, EVER!

My apologies to all. For some reason only the last part of my intended response was uploaded.
Youlie's response contains the correct information to delete messages from the queue in normal situations and was sposed to be the first part of my response.
The portion of my response needed to be prefaced by the following:
Warning: Use at your own risk!!!
In the event of an open relay, and the queue contains thousands of messages and hundreds of queues you can delete all the messages in the Queue folder at one time. Stop the SMTP virtual Server before continuing.
To delete ALL outgoing mail in the Queue at one time go to
"\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mailroot\vsi 1\Queue" on the drive containing your Exchange program and delete all the files in the "Queue" folder.
Again, Please accept my apology for not previewing my post before submitting it.
