Well I know at least 2 out of 3 (spam & virus) is true! We're getting ton of virus and spam every day. And there's nothing I can do about either. Every once in a while I have to clean up the IMC's outgoing queue loaded with few hundered blank originator emails! Is there a way to automate this at least?

CPU utilization is not high, usually hovers around 7-8% to high teens. The symptoms were: remote users not being able to send or receive. They would get timeouts back from the server. I have a batch file that telnets to ports 25 and 110 for testing. When I ran it locally from my machine, sometimes It would take 30 seconds or more to connect! Also few had complained about not receiving emails sent to them. The sender wouldn't get a NDR, but on the 2nd or 3rd try, it would work. --Alex Alborzfard -----Original Message----- From: Morgan, Joshua (Greenville) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 3:36 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: High Memory Usage for Store.exe I agree... You should probably purge your quarantine... You mention performance issues, what does the CPU Utilization look like and what types of symptoms are you seeing?

The exchsrvr folder on that drive takes about 102 MB. --Alex Alborzfard -----Original Message----- From: Morgan, Joshua (Greenville) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 3:05 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: High Memory Usage for Store.exe Question have you used any tools to determine what is taking up all the space on the system drive?

There are also about 255 CRs, being used heavily to forward emails to our company's EX2K servers mailboxes. I've already ran the Optimizer and moved IS and other stuff to other drives.

Ed, I agree on using as much memory as possible, but to the point of making EX non-responsive?! I guess a memory upgrade is in order. On a somewhat related note, I originally installed Exchange on the System partition (drive). Now it's running out of space. Besides reinstalling Exchange and put it on another drive, which is not very practical, since it's a production machine, do I have another option? --Alex Alborzfard -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 1:45 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: High Memory Usage for Store.exe You didn't buy all that memory for it to sit unused, now did you?

The box has 512MB of memory, of which between 396-400MB are being used by Store.exe. Isn't this too high? Besides the obvious (adding more memory), what can be done to improve the EX performance. With other EX services, AV software and other misc. services, there is not much Available Memory: between 4-18MB. This has created problems in sending and receiving, as the server sometimes doesn't respond in time and just times out.
