Scott will also have to take a look in the IMCDATA/OUT directory and find the mails that are looping and delete them. You may be able to go into the IMC via the Exchange Admin program and delete them from the QUEUE tab. Just hope you delete the correct messages.

You are lucky you caught it. You need to turn off the forward now. It will eventually stop looping, but not until the forward it off. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Burgin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 10:47 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: An email in the IMS Running Exchange 5.5, sp4 on a NT 4.0, sp6 server. We have a traveling executive here who had us set up his domain email account to forward email to his ameritech and aol account. Anyway, someone sent him an attachment that his Ameritech account rejects. So what happens is that the IMS queues the email message and continues to try and send it, but it keeps getting rejected. So he gets these rejection messages and the IMS fills up and boggs down email traffic. I went to his local PC and opened up Outlook and found the email that contained the file that was too big and deleted it early this morning. BUT!, the message for some reason keeps queueing into the IMS Queue. I delete them out of the queue, but they keep reappearing. I don't know what to do at this point. Help!
