    Know the feeling.

    We had a similar incident a few weeks ago and had to delete 350k+ error messages from the mailserver.

    Luckily the did not make their way into the exchange mailbox.

    Deleting that many from exchange is a nightmare ;)

    @tobbr Ouch.

    That is something I have not seen for many years.

    It was not really that bad but it caused a lot of emails during one vacation 10 years back.
