Gmail has the one you sent plus the one you received. You can configure your subscription so that you don't get sent a copy of messages you post.
Insofar as your spikes - you can find a tool called ExMon and it'll show you the user(s) causing all the activity. Make sure you get the Exchange 2003 version. Regards, Michael B.

I'm getting spikes and small plateaus (mesas, perhaps?), but it's not maxing out the writes/sec perfmon graph like it was before at all. By the way, I'm not sure if I'm double-posting to the list or not - each of my messages is showing up twice in GMail.

I did find a user account that was kicking an ActiveSync error every now and again (pretty sure he's a DroidX user). When I disable that user's mobile options everything seems to return to normal. My average writes/sec right now are ~4 with a max of 400. I guess I didn't realize that ActiveSync events created the trans logs in Exchange. I guess I'm just at a loss for what a user can be doing on their smartphone that it does this when we've got a couple dozen other Droid + iPhone users that can't produce the same problem.

This primarily has to do with our disks which are two separate hardware RAIDs. One RAID is broken up into two logical drives - C: for system files and F: for Exchange transaction logs. The other RAID is one logical drive D: which houses all of our Exchange databases. Our last complete backup completed yesterday at around 7:00am and since then we have noticed three things occurring: 1. The server is generating an inordinately high amount of transaction logs for our organization at almost 40GB - a normal day for us can produce ~4GB. 2. The number of disk writes is also abnormally high. Using perfmon I've observed the writes/sec at an average of over 1,000 and highs of over 5,500. 3. Event ID 602 appeared in our event viewer. This event basically tells us to perform an offline defragmentation of the databases. We have four mailbox stores that range in size (107GB, 57GB, 12GB, and 10GB). I've scheduled a maintenance window for this weekend to perform the offline defrag as recommended by the event error. The only thing that we've done recently is that a couple of weeks ago we deleted a number of mailboxes (~50) as part of a measure to stay under our GFI MailArchiver license count. None of the mailboxes were particularly large. I wanted to find out if anyone else had experienced anything like this before or if anyone had run into Event ID 602 before. Any help, even to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
