The queue keeps filling up. 2k messages in 2hrs. I have enabled message
filtering and check there is no relay. I tested using one of the microsoft articles
and I don’t get 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for user@spam.com -or- 250 2.1.5 user@spam.com
I get unrecognized email address.
I created a forward mail to (111.111.111.111) to try and stop the messages so i can clear it but they keep coming.
I am trying to use this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324958
but the queue never stops filling up.
