This whole process is covered under Single Instance Storage functionality of Exchange. Only one instance of a message exists with pointers for each user that was sent the message. If you had three servers and the message was sent to mailboxes on each server then you would have three instances in your site. Check out www.swinc.com for the FAQ.

Vesneski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 August 2003 19:21 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Attachments and the Priv Hi, I get asked this all the time and really have never figured it out. Is there a link on MS about this or in a book somewhere. I have not been able to find it. As an Exchange Admin I should know this - argh. When an email with attachment gets sent to 'N' people does that attachment stay in the store as one file or is it stored as 'N' files? TIA, Erik L.
