Easiest way to do this is.
1. Stop modusadm and moduscan
2. Rename the folder to spam.old (in a command shell, not via
explorer)
3. Restart modusadm and moduscan
All
the messages are then cleared and you can respool them at your
leisure.
If you
want a copy of a .NET app I wrote for respooling mail with a configurable delay,
and presuming they are in the typical MSG/RCP paired format, I can send you an
app I wrote for that purpose with source.

you might consider doing a move of files to a
temp folder... just directory move really, and feed them back in bit by
bit.

thanks for all your help. it is recovering, but
has only gone down some 4k files in the last 2 hours.
anyway, we may just delete the contents.
thank you all again for your
assistance and suggestions

No
harm other then the chance of deleting false positives that would have
otherwise ended up in quarrantine.
It
should recover eventually as long as you don't have over 65k files in
there. If you have over 65k it can have a bit of trouble recovering it
seems.

another quick question. from a command line,
we could delete the items in the spool/spam folder. would there be any
problem with that other than the fact that the email would be
lost?

Mail only ends up in the spam spool when it can't make it in to
quarrantine. Either a problem with quarrantine/SQL/ModusAdm can
prevent that happening.
As for trying to get info on the folder try ALT-ENTER to get the
properties or use "dir" in a command shell rather then
explorer.
Explorer chokes on folders with large numbers of
files.

yeah, i don't know what really happens in
the spam folder. but mine is usually no more than 150 with 2,600
mailboxes. i'm very confused and somewhat concerned, because mail is
apparently not being delivered

I just checked on mine, it has 53,000 and is also
growing - I don't know what it runs normally. We are fairly
small and don't do that much mail. What is weird I show nothing in
the quarentine. My sievedata.mdb is only at 37M

i have over 55,000 messages in my spam
directory under the vopmail/spool. I have never had over 365 that i
know of. what could cause this. could it be held there becaus of rbl
lookups? I use only spamhaus.org and have that as a zone in my dns and
secondary dns
