I have some other questions: 1) Is there a way to limit the size of a message that SMTP handles? I did notice today that there were some 20MB messages going through. I know you can set mailbox limits, but how can you limit a user from sending that 20MB file?
Is there a tool that will globally allow me to set limits on all the virtual accounts I have? How can I use the SMTP logs (which are often hard to open, or scroll by too fast in the sys logger (which I now turned off, from which I could determine nothing consistent, but then again, It goes by too fast, or I can't read it.)) to track the sender/receipient of the large messages? Is there some log analysis tool availalbe? Things are stable right now, cause the load is lighter, I assume. -Kelly > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Sanford > Whiteman > Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 10:22 PM > To: Kelly Britt > Subject: Re[2]: [IMail Forum] Upgraded from 6.x to 7.x and feeling > frustrated. > > > > These machines were the Intel ISP series, the use the Inteal 82559 Fast > > Ethernet Lan on Motherboard > > Swap it. > > > How do you defrag a highly active mail server with 1000s of users? > > "Highly active," again, requires metrics so that we can compare with > successful configurations. > > The more active, the more urgent the need to defrag.
