It allowed me to install version 3.8 without the server coughing up hairballs.
It also dropped resource utilization a bit. John Matteson; Exchange Manager Geac Corporate Infrastructure Systems and Standards (404) 239 - 2981 Defeat is a state of mind.

Hmmmm. Their white paper says that anything newer than v3 does not need to be uninstalled. This doesn't surprise me. Did this fix the problem? -----Original Message----- From: John Matteson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 3:31 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Outlook very slow sending messages with attachments. When I did the upgrade from ScanMail 3.51 to 3.8 I ended up having to uninstall all the ScanMail products before doing the install for 3.8. Make sure you save your attachment blocking list to a text file before doing any updates or uninstalls.

Please upgrade to 3.8 ScanMail immediately! 3.51 has problems with blocking attachments. You do not have to uninstall 3.51, the 3.8 install with retain your setting and take care of that for you.

Running Optimizer didn't make a difference. This box is running Scan Mail 3.51 & eManager 3.1, Exchange 5.5 sp4. This is the same box that won't accept email from 2 until 5 am every night .......

I don't think name resolution discriminates by the presence of an attachment. -----Original Message----- From: Cross, Tom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 11:25 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Outlook very slow sending messages with attachments.

I ran Optimizer has as the guys suggested and saw no changes. If you believe it and I can't tell you why this is making a difference but releasing an renewing the IP address on the Outlook Client PC fixes the slow down. I have people with 30 second lag in calendar that disappears when they do this. Needless to say its driving me nuts.

I disagree, show me where it says anything about database size or mailbox size? I understand the logic if you run optimizer and set it for 26-50 users and you exmerged 60 users. Running it then may give you something. -----Original Message----- From: William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 1:41 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Outlook very slow sending messages with attachments.

Can you explain why the optimizer would make a difference. I thought it only went on number of mailboxes? Is it smart enough to look at current sizes and allocate resources based on that data. Just wondering for future reference.

Did you run the Exch optimizer after importing all that mail? -----Original Message----- From: Kevan Dickinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 10:18 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Outlook very slow sending messages with attachments. Last Weekend I installed a new Exchange 5.5 sp4 Server on a win 2K sp2 Compaq Server. 778mb ram 1.2 Ghz Processor 34GB hard drive. It much more powerful than the old box. I exported all users mail to PST's and then imported them back into the new set up after pointing their Outlook clients at the new Exchange Server. Our domain environment is still NT4 although we now have 3 Win 2k Servers doing various jobs. All the clients are outlook 2000 on win 2k Pro. However all users are experiencing difficulty sending email with attachments both internal and external. It takes 20 seconds to a couple of mins to send a mail with an attachment. What have I missed during my migration??
