Ah, I think that must be it! But the funny thing – this user's mailbox is accessed by only one Outlook 2003 application. In this Outlook 2003 it's an IMAP folder and it's off-line, ie. never opened and never used in a send/receive schedule...

By the way – my fix for the problem was to have the user disable Junk Mail in Outlook 2003.

Hi all,

 

Last friday something very strange happened. A 2 GB mbx-file " Junk E-mail.mbx " appeared in one of the users' folders on the mailserver. The file didn't contain anything other than a 3 MB e-mail according to the Imail Client. This caused our server to crash because disc-space ran out, so I would like to investigate what happened here.

 

Anyone any thoughts?

 

Another strange file that occurred that day was the file " PAB196904.tmp ", 80 MB large. Anyone know what that is?

 

I have the spool folder, tmp-file and mbx-file available in very small zips (somehow they compress very well! The 2 GB file compresses to 947 KB and the 80 MB file compresses to 211 KB).

 

Regards,

 

Nika.
