Chris, One other solution to the opening of logs bogging down your machine would be to transition to a better program. Notepad/wordpad just don't cut it when working with very large files. Take a look at UltraEdit. It does not have the same limitations that these programs have.

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.

Have a look at kiwi syslog http://www.kiwisyslog.com/ Groetjes, Bonno Bloksma ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Patterson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2004 3:20 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Moving Logs out of Spool Directory Thanks for the reply, Scott. 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.
