Thanks for all or your reply's, I find it hard to believe that you can't write the syslogs to a separate directory than spool without installing additional software.
Anyone ever try On the "Localhost" tab, changing Log Server: 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1\G:\Logs ? I thought I was just unable to find an article on it, but I guess it is a problem. Fragmentation as you guys know is a huge issue on Windows boxes. When these logs files become over 100 megs it takes a long time to open. Even with a big box. If the logs, spool, and mailboxes share the same partition combined with heavy traffic, SMTP dies when you open them. My idea was to log sys and spam to their own partition to resolve this issue. If any other ideas are out there, please let me know.

This article pertains to moving the spool directory. I have already moved the spool directory out of IMAIL, but I want to move the log files out of the spool directory. It appears the logs follow the spool but I want them on their own partition.
