you have just learned painfully (the lesson may continue for many
hours as you clean up the mess) why "Relay for local hosts only" is
uselessly dangerous. Ipswitch should put a popup-when-selected
warning on these dangerous radio buttons, damn it. And they should
install Imail to default of "relay for addresses" rather than
installing as an open relay.
stop the SMTP service.
check the imail queue tab, there could be tons of stuff in there,
delete it if you can.
if you can't because there's too much, copy you imail spool directory
to someplace else,
delete your Imail spool directory contents (you have the copy above).
set your relay options to "relay for addresses"
start your SMTP service so your mail server can progress
now you need to work on the directory to where you copied the spool
directory, deleting the files with bogus msgs from .cn, and keeping
everything else.
You could do this with a little script using "file grep", fgrep,
searching for files that contains ".cn " and deleting each one.
see www.ProfSoftware.com for unixdos tools. This is a critical step
since deleting all this crap, maybe 10's of 1000's of msgs, by hand
could take hours. The grep script could do it at machine speed.
When that's all cleaned up, stop the smtp service, copy what's left
in your work dir back to the spool directory so Imail can work on it,
and start the smtp service.
