Exchange 2003, Only Allow Domain Users to Send Emails

I need to configure exchange 2003 to only send email from mydomain.com users, not public domains like aol or yahoo.  Also is there a way to clear the outbound message Queue all at once?  There is about 3.7GB of spam being sent out.  Thanks!

I found the account being abused and deleted it.  Now I have a few emails in trying to send from Administrator@mydomain.com and SERVER-IS@mydomain.com.    The administrator account is, and has been disabled for some time.    What should I do now?
Where are the administrator emails trying to be sent to (who is the recipient)?
Weird,  the recipient is administrator@mydomian.com
Please re-enable the administrator account.
OK, its re-enabled
Has the queue now emptied?
I tried to login to the administrator account with success but outlook would not connect.  I was also getting a postmaster@mydomain.com.   I addedd both the postmaster and administrator account to the sender filtering list.
Okay - so do you need anything more now?
even with the sender filter they are still poping up in the que.  should that happen?
How many Exchange Servers in your network?
One sbs
Whatever it is it's causing deco issues too when the que is filled up.  Don't want to do it but thinking about reloading.
I would be inclined to try and look at the contents of the messages.

Where did you login to the Administrator account from?  Server or a workstation?
Workstation
Can you try again - and check out what the messages are please?
Try OWA if Outlook won't play nicely.
what is the smtp connector "server.mydomain.internal"?  This is where the messages are building up.  I froze it and emails are still sending.
That is your own server.

Can you screen dump the queue please?
Comment https:#a38414956 resolved the bulk of the problem this question was about and also shows how to cleanup the queues, so should be accepted as the answer.
