Question : how can i delete the queue of  exchange 2003 after a mass delivery?

The system is sbs2003.
The secretary sent 1500 mails 2.6 mb each and everything got stuck.
Deleting from queue is laborious an tedious, but i started with it, when i noticed that queues that i already deleted are coming back one by one.!
i tried to stop services and delete the contents of the mailroot\vsi 1\queue
when i remunted the information store, everything came back to the queue in the ESM and in the folder. I repeated it a few times, and now the queue folder remains empty, but the queue in the ESM is still full!
If i start to re deleting queues manually, again everything comes back after dismount-mount the IS.
in order to avoid the block of the internet connection, in the properties of the default smtp virtual server/delivery/outbound connections/ i limited the number of connections to 10, which lets the internet line "live".
can anyone help?

Exchange is very poor at processing large numbers of messages in the queues.
You will need to get the messages in to a single queue. An SMTP Connector can do that for you. See mid-way down my spam cleanup article:
