I’m setting up an Exchange Server (in the testing stage now). I’ve set up Port Forwarding and the Recipient Policies etc and everything seemed ok so far until this point.
I had encountered a problem sending emails outside the organisation, so I checked the Queues. My heart nearly missed a beat as there where over 29,000+ emails “jammed” in a queue. I managed to delete them all, and I could then send email outside the organisation again.
I assume that Spammers had tried to use our Exchange server to send out spam, but because it’s not an open relay, the emails didn’t get sent – but how can I stop 29,000+ emails spam emails accumulating in the queue and jamming the exchange?
We’re running an SBS2000 Server with Exchange 2000 installed.
