PLEASE READ THE FAQ!! Do not, REPEAT Do NOT, run a file level scanner on your Exchange server. You will F*SCK up many files that are necessary for Exchange to operate correctly.
USE ONLY AN EXCHANGE AWARE SCANNER like TREND MICRO's SCAN MAIL. If you (or your pointed headed boss) insist on running a file level scanner on an Exchange server, EXCLUDE any and all directories that are named EXCHSRVR and all the subdirectories. This will minimize that you will F*SCK up important Exchange files.

I'm using Nav 7.5 on my exchange server and it has found a few viri over the past few weeks in the IMC dir. Is this dangerous to scan the exchange dir, and quarantine viri if found? If so why?

Bye, Eric -----Message d'origine----- De : Eric Mailloux Envoyé : 2 décembre, 2001 14:02 À : MS-Exchange Admin Issues Objet : Exchange partition getting huge over the weekend... Hello! Exchange 2000 SP1. The Exchange partition (M:\ drive) gets huge overly fast during the weekend : from 2.1GB on friday PM to almost 9.0GB on monday AM. No one is at the office during that time. I only have about 50 mailboxes on the server. What causes the log files to get this numerous this fast, over the weekand when it is not the case during the week? Is there a way or a tool that would allow me to view all the activity that went on on the mail server??? Could it be that I am being used as a relay??? Thank you!
