Thanks Vahik, that helps me reduce the number of NDR's being sent out. &nbsp;But my questions is specifically about the active SMTP connections. &nbsp;Is there a way to terminate those connections?

I have alot of SMTP connections in my virtual SMTP server queue. &nbsp;Most of these connections are NDR responses to spam emails going to users that do not exist.<br />
<br />
How do I terminate these connections? &nbsp;The only options it gives me is to freeze the connection, in which case the connection is still sitting there in the queue.
