Most of our users are POP3 and we do have seperate mirrored drives for the
spool and the MBX files. But we do have a salesforce that has an 80mb size
limit on thei accounts. There are about 50 sales personell. Otherusers are
given the ability to store messages on the server for up to 7 days.
Then there is the all_mail_delivery account that saves mail for two of the
domains on the server into seperate MBX files and can get up to 1 gig. On
our old hardware I had a process renaming moving the file once a week to an
alternate folder on the same disk. Then moving it off disk.
Athough your answer helps a little it does not answer my origional question.
should I stop qmanager and SMTP before doing the defrag of the user mbx
and spool disks???

Kevin,
No.
This is also mostly unnecessary if you put your spool on a separate
partition, log everything to the spool partition, and move the logs off
of that partition on a daily basis. The logs are what get terribly
fragmented, essentially everything from IMail, Declude and Sniffer due
to the way that things are logged. The only other thing that tends to
get noticeably fragmented are your IMail accounts, which should also be
on a separate partition in order to isolate the effects. This won't be
an issue hardly at all however if most of your customers use POP3 to
retrieve their E-mail and delete it from the server because every time a
file is modified in this way, it is rewritten, thus the fragments are
removed (appending to a file causes fragments).
