Is there just one HT? Sounds like you are being bitten either by the transport dumpster or by something huge trying to come into your HT. You do have limits set on the connectors, right? (And I mean on the CONNECTORS, not at the global level or per-user level.)

The only errors I really get is starting transport service then you see the logiles replaying in the eventvwr but it goes basically in circles you can see it go all the way from oldest to newest then it starts bouncing around and 45 mins later it says completed but the transport is already in 'starting' so nothing I can do but wipe and try again.

WSUS shows last updates @ 12/5/2010 I did that btw, and what happens is the mail.que built up to 3gb in about 20 mins with hundreds of log files, if I stop the transport (or reboot) when it comes back on it starts replaying all the logfiles and then times out. Then I get database dirty shutdown and I have to pull it out. Whats odd is that during this time mail is delivering just fine it seems when we send test emails back and forth and the email transactions on the server in that time frame is just a few hundred and nowhere near 3gb, so im wondering if we are losing mail or the transport role is corrupted.

You didn't answer the question about whether you were current on service packs and update rollups or whether any tasks were aborting. Regards, Michael B.

There was a couple of iis warning about .net having a locked process or something but not sure if its related. I moved the logfiles out and bounced the server, transport came up and said it found 191 messages (in a 5.9gb file?) . The system basically works for a few hours, then backs up in the queues and then the only fix is to wipe the transport folder and bounce the box and make a new mail.que From: Michael B.

Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Level 5 - Lists [mailto:li...@levelfive.us] Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2010 1:53 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: corrupt transport queues This am we had some corrupt transport queue, a 2.1gb mail.que file and logfiles. I pulled them out and bounced the server, everything started we got about 800 messages in queue it dropped to about 530 and then stopped again. restarting the transport service yields the same results. I get all the logfiles replaying then a timed out message and then it starts replaying the logs again and again in a loop. It gets all the way to the top log file and then hangs there then seems to start over again. --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
