Author Is there a way to refuse emails to non-existent users?

We have a server running Windows 2000 Server,
and we are using SMTP to route mail to our
back-end server. The IIS SMTP to receive
the email, checks for spam then ideally
route the spam free emails to the back-end
server. We are using BrightMail.

Right now, the Queue folder has about 7300
pieces of emails in them, most are for a
domain we own that is notorious for getting
spams, and this is slowing down emails getting
to the back-end server. I went into the Queue
folder and looked at the messages, most are
junk mails for non-exsistent email accounts
on this one domain.

Ok, my question which will have two parts:

A. Is there a way for IIS SMTP to refuse
a message by checking if a user the
message is for actually exists? right
now, it is doing SmartHosting, so it
sends whatever it gets to the back-end
server.

B. Is there a way to speed up the processing
of the Queue?

Thanks,

John.
