IMS Mailbox Size Limit Warning
Hi Everyone, we have an Exchange Server 5.5 on NT4 which has been running for 3 years without any problems. Two days ago, when I checked the Information Store Resoures, I found the mailbox called Internet Mail Service (Server Name) has a "Issuing Warning" message but the mailbox actually has "0" Total K, "0" Total no. Items, "0" Total no. Associated Messages in it. Yet the Storage Limits say "Issue Warning". The NT account associated with this mailbox is the domain's "Exchgservice". I just can't figure out why I'm getting this Limits warning.For your information, the IMS has a 3000K limit on both incoming/outgoing internet mail which has been set up long time ago. Any information to solving this problem is appreciated. List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
RE: IMS Mailbox Size Limit Warning
Hi Martin, the mailbox that has the warning is called Internet Mail Service. This mailbox does not even appear in the Receipient container. The NT aaccount to this is mailbox is Exchgservice, this is the servive acccount used to start the exchange services. Actually,there is a mailbox for the exchgservice account and this mailbox has a few messages but the last login and logut time is dated back to 1998. This is a hidden mailbox.. When I clicked on the properties of the Internet Mail Service mailbox, I got the configuration page of the IMS where you can configure the message limit - here I put in 3000K as I mentioned in my original message, and other specific properties specific to IMS. I also checked MS Knowledge Base but I did not find anything. In addition, I did not find any message in the Event Viewer about this. Until now, the Exchange system still working OK. I am just worrying about will there any bad things happen in the near future? If not, I can just ignore it for now. Any idea, Thanks Martin, Sui Seto List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
RE: IMS Mailbox Size Limit Warning
Thanks Karen, I did change the limit back to none in the general tab of the IMS properties, but it still shows the "issuing warning" message. Yes, no problems with the email system so far and mails are flowing in and out normally. Probably as you said, it is a glitch in Exchange and hopefuly this glitch will not affect the normal operation of the system.

Automatically send out a standard message
Hi everyone, I am looking for a way to set up auto reply for one mailbox - the contact mailbox in our website. What I want to do is to send out a standard message saying something like "we have received your email which will be dealt with by the appropriate department etc" to any email sent to us using the contact mailbox. Any easy way to do this or any third party software that I can buy to do this. I am reluctant to enable Auto Reply in the IMC. We are using Exchange 5.5 Thanks for your info.

RE: Automatically send out a standard message
Thanks for your prompt reply. The ISP hosts our website and the Contact is a mailbox on our Exchnage server. Could you elaborate a bit about your suggestions? Thanks again. Sui Seto List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
RE: Virus - Mass Mailing
Thanks Martin. How about the To field? Will the virus grab the address from the same address book (randomly) and puts it in the To field?? That is what I am curios to know. I already asked the user to send me the email if it has not been deleted. Sui > Its most likely Klez.
