SBS 2003 running Exchange 2003.<br />
<br />
User tried to send out mass email with 6 MB attachment.<br />
<br />
Internet connection slows to a crawl. Ping response time is 2000+ ms.<br />
<br />
I could see all the messages in the various queues, and tried to delete them from Exchange System Manager. However, when they were all deleted the internet connection did not return to normal speed.<br />
<br />
Stopping the SMTP server from within System Manager resolves the Internet speed issue, but when I restart the smtp server, all of the messages re appear in the queues.<br />
<br />
I cannot see the messages in the Queues folder on the hard drive; I can only see new messages in there.<br />
<br />
How can I resolve this?<br />
<br />
Why aren't those messages being deleted when I try to do so from Exchange System Manager?<br />
<br />
thanks!

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately.
