Now we could check at the firewall/mail gateway but that'd only get outbound/inbound mail. Perfmon might give a clue (if we could stand that performance hit) and we can monitor disk growth, but does anybody know a simple way to assess how many emails per day are sent both internally and externally.

Incident tracking
Can anyone recommend an application that can be used for tracking problems. I am thinking of incident management software, where when a server is down a trouble ticket can be issued and all information about the problem and steps taken to resolve gets logged in a database. This information can then also be used to search against for future problems. I have heard of a product called Remedy, has anyone used that or any other application like it? What are the better products out there? Thanks, any suggestions would be helpful.

Re: cleaning a mailbox
Yes it can be useful in DR situations. It provides immediate access to users while a separate issue is resolved with the old priv. Then the two priv.edb files can be merged in a sense using Exmerge.

Re: cleaning a mailbox
Jeff, you should be able to stop the Exchange services and then delete the priv.edb. Then when you restart the services a new Information Store is created and all mailboxes will be empty. You could also look into using EXMERGE from the resource kit I'm guessing.
