Vincenzo, JAMES_ROOT/apps/james/var/mail/outgoing directory is full of files, 8864 to be exact. Is this mail that is waiting to be sent, and can i just delete all the files? After doing this I will change the administrators account and all users account passwords again - hopefully this will stop the abuse.
