Is there a way of deleting locked files in mailroot\queue in IIS6 Smtp?
We've been having problems with a huge bulk of e-mail being sent, we have now resolved this but there are 6 e-mails stuck in the queue which I wish to delete.
I've tried stopping the service, but it is now stuck in a stopping state.
E-mails were previously being sent even when in stopping. But these last few seem to be blocking other e-mails in the pickup directory.
I have read about a tool called aqadmcli.exe, but have been unable to find a working download link. I'm hesitant to use anything other than from an authoritative site.
