Re: Mailing with exchange 2003 - performance & delivery

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



You'll have to start with performance monitor on the server itself to
identify the bottleneck. It is likely to be CPU but make sure there is
nothing else causing a problem. Once you pin down the performance bottleneck
identify the process sucking up the resources. Once you have confirmed this
post back to the group with an explanation of how these mails are being send
from the client.
