I just got this message from one of our users: Help. This file has been sent like 15 times to my wife. Can you clear the email spool on the server?

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can I look into this? I'm running Exchange 2000 on a server 2000 box. I've never had to look into anything like this before. Thanks.

Go to System Manager>Email Organization (probably your server name)>servers>your server>protocols>smtp>smtp virtual server>queues
If you recognize the domain of the stuck or reoccuring email,use the MS article below to purge the queue (email spool)

If you're unfamiliar with system Manager and where the SMTP queues are, the screenshot (second from the bottom ) should help.
