Firstm is store.exe taking up memory or processor? On SBS2000 especially, it
will take up a lot of memory, but should give it back.

As to purging badmail, how many are you talking about --- dozens? or
hundreds? or thousands?

In any case, it is NOT recommended to simply delete the bad mail, especially
if you have a lot to be deleted, 'cause that will most certainly drag down
your system. Rather, it's recommended that you rename the badmail
subdirectory, create a new one, and then delete the renamed directory.

There's a KB article and script on it, if you want it.
