Turn on protocol logging and figure out what the SMTP stuff is doing all day - that's not normal.

I run Exchange 2007 for around 500 users in a Hyper-V VM on a physical server that hosts about a dozen VM's total (web servers, app servers, etc.) and the CPU utilization is generally minimal. Not that that helps you much...

Everything was just pretty much standard install. The exchange server keeps getting the pushback messages due to edgetransport.exe taking 50-75% cpu and @4gb ram consistently. We just turned up 10 users. Googling around people keep saying that its normal, but since the server isn't responding correctly, I would have to disagree :) Anything I can do to get this edgetransport.exe down to a reasonable level? I didn't load forefront or anything on it, we have a third party virus/spam filtering tool on another server. I was thinking maybe I don't even need edgetransport but that doesn't sound right either. I was looking at editing the edgetransport.config file but really thinking that I shouldn't have to do that, the box should have plenty of juice for 20 users.
