Hi, actually the problem is solved. After I turned on the IS Maintenance
to always, it told me that the Private IS had 10 GB of free space. After
that I did an offline desfragmentation and the IS has now 6GB versus the
16GB it had before. The only modifications I did was installing the
Exchange Enterprise Edition because of the 16GB limit and configured the
printer not to use SMTP and POP3 to send and retrieve reports. Not sure
what correct the problem, or what the problem was... just that is working
fine now.
Just a quick question, Is there a way to automatically roll back to
Exchange Standart Edition, or do I have to install a fresh copy of
Exchange Standart and then restore a backup of old exchange data? Is this
a straighfoward process? Is it possible to upgrade the Exchange Server 5.5
Enterprise Edition to Exchange Server 2000 Standart Edition?
Thanks for all your feedback.

Yes, it is still growing, at a rate of something like 100Mb a day. The
estimates where taken after the offline desfragmentation in the Mailboxe
Resources, they are a rought estimate of the mailboxes but in the total
they have something like 5GB. The IS grown in the space of 2 weeks but i
can´t tell you the rate.
Somethink strange, we have several messages in the event viewer like this
"An unauthenticated POP3 client 10.10.10.10 issued the USER command with
invalid argument(s)." It turned out to be a printer that was sending
reports by mail. I´ve reconfigured the printer not to send this reports.
Do you think it could be this?
The PRIV.EDB has now 16.6 GB
Thanks,
Nelson

Is it still growing? You can monitor this by checking the free space on
the
drive (Q180011) or toggling the archive bit on the file. How fast is it
growing? When you say it jumped from 5 to 16GB over what period was this?
Where did you get these estimates of store size from? Check your backup
reports to see whether they agree with your store size estimates, ie
whether
it has jumped suddenly or whether it has actually grown over time.

OOF won't cause mail loops. They should only fire once per sender.
(They've broken before though...)
While I'd think this is due to a mail loop, I'd look for an auto-reply or
auto-forward rule. Check the NDR's to see if you can pick up a looping
message there, Nelson.

Sounds like a mail loop caused by those Dammed OOOA, check to see if you
have one message that keeps looping every time getting bigger.

Subject: Problem with Information Store
Hi all, i dont know if i´m following the correct conduct of this mailing
list while posting this mail, if i´m not i´m sorry,
Here is my problem,
Suddenly, my 5 GB Information Stores jumps to 16 GB in space without any
modification of parameters in the Exchange Server. To try to correct
this, i did an offline desfragmentation but it only achive 200 Mb of
free space. I then move some mailboxes to PST and performed an online
backup whitout any results. I´m going to perform another offline backup
but to tell you the true, i´m running out of ideas. Any suggestions?
My company has a Compaq Server with Windows 2000 installed and Exchange
5.5 SP4. It was the normal version but i then installed the Enterprise
Edition temporarely until I have a fix for this.
Thanks,
Nelson Silva
