iis smtp nntp: i have found that many mails are stuck in Inetpub\mailroot\queue.
Most of the mails (90%) are from postmaster@xxx.com (xxx.com is my domain).
The contects are below:

This is an automatically generated Delivery status Notification.
Delivery ot the following recipients failed.
aaa@xxx.com
bbb@xxx.com
ccc@xxx.com

PS: There are no aaa@xxx.com, bbb@xxx.com and ccc@xxx.com addresses at my
company mail server.

How to stop generating this kind of email in order to improve the mail
server performance?

Thanks a lot

There is no such email address exists in our domain. Those email address is
a recipient address in a spam mail. So the system reply a failure notice to
the sender. So, the system is very busy on replying to thos spam mails.

Please teach me how to stop the system to reply those emails that try to
send a non-exist recipient...
