SUMMARY
The Exchange 2000 Server SMTP service is unable to reject connection attempts based on queue size.

If you want to flush the queue:
 * 1) In the left pane of the Exchange System Manager, click to expand the Servers branch, and then click to expand the   branch. To expand a branch, double-click the branch or click the plus sign (+) to the left of the branch.
 * 2) Click to expand the Protocols branch.
 * 3) Click to expand the SMTP branch.
 * 4) Right-click the SMTP Virtual Server object.
 * 5) Click Pause on the shortcut menu.

After you pause the SMTP Virtual Server, it does not accept new connections. However, it processes and delivers existing (queued) items.
