User Hacked, SMTP full, CPU@100%

One of our users had their email account hacked, I was out all day and now there are over 400,000 email messages sitting in out queue.

Is there a way to delete them all? There may be valid emails in the queue!!

Is there a way to delete them all without sending another email to the end user saying that they were deleted by the admin?

Show a picture of the section of the 'Relaying' tab with the 'Authenticated relay' and 'Host-based relay'. Also, one of the 'Transparent mode' section on the 'Advanced' tab.

If you've deleted his account on your email server, why does it continue to relay his messages? That seems to indicate that the user has a Trojan and your email server has some incorrect setting that allows an unathenticated user to relay off the box.
