Title: RE: No budget backups of exchange server on a SBS box, How to???
It's an IBM Netfinity server, Dual 1-Gig Xeons, 2GB of RAM, local RAID 5 array for OS and Logs, fiber channel to EMC storage for the Databases. Is that close enough?
 
I didn't mention because we have seen nothing to indicate that this server cannot handle the load, but now that I look back I guess I was asking so I should have included that.

e2k with 800 users on a Pentium is one thing.
800 users  on a server with 4 processors 8 gb or RAM raid 5 with 6 36g hard drives, etc is other thing,
so the number of recp without the hardware info is useless..

I seem to have some messages getting delayed in my Exchange 2000 Servers. Looking at message tracking for one message, there is about an 8 hour gap between "SMTP: Message Submitted to Categorizer" and "SMTP: Started Outbound Transfer of Message" on the server the message was sent from. The only thing I can think of that might be out of the ordinary is that we use the "Send all unresolvable mail to" field as we have Sendmail alias lists that are in the same SMTP domain as the Exchange, so we need a way for the messages to get forwarded to Sendmail. These seem to be the messages that are getting delayed.
 
There could be delays with messages sent out to the Internet but It's less likely that I'd hear about those. I noticed the outbound SMTP queue always stays around 45 or so messages. Does this sound about right for an E2k server with 800 users on it?
 
Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction?
 
The Environment: 4 Win2kAdvSrv-SP2 E2k-SP1 servers at various locations, one is set up as the front-end, behind a Sendmail server.
