Need Help: 11000 messages in internet mail gateway
Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2007 2:03 pm
Hi all,
not sure if I've been somehow used as a relay or what happened.
I just realized that the internet mail gateway service had aborted. Upon starting it (took four tries and a reboot) I see that I have 11,000 messages queued. I can't imagine having that many outgoing messages queued as this is a 20 user server.
I believe my server is properly hardened, from relaying although I opened ports to support external connectivity using the scalix connector for outlook a few days back.
Any advice on how should I approach this problem?
Regards,
Jason
