Re: Firey exchange death...

Deleting the temp table usually cleared up these type of storms for
me. When a large volume of messages are submitted the messages are
submitted and queued in the store until they are processed. Delete the
temp table from having it process any further messages.


.. Download MFCMAPI, also known as MAPI Editor. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?
FamilyID=55FDFFD7-1878-4637-9808-1E21ABB3AE37&displaylang=en

2. Launch MFCMAPI application. Click OK at the Microsoft Exchange
Server MAPI Editor window. Click Session, and select Logon and Display
Store Table.

3. You will now be prompted to create a profile. Note, you must be
logged in with an account that has full rights to your Exchange
server, otherwise you will receive the following error message below
when we open the temp table.

Error:
Code: MAPI_E_FAILONEPROVIDER === 0x8004011D
Function
File f:\df7830\extest\src\mfmapi\mapistorefunctions.cpp

4. Once logged in, click MDB, and select Get Mailbox Table. A new
window display opens "Server Mailbox Table" From here, you can select
the server name you wish to work with. Select default settings and
click OK.

5. You will now see all mailboxes enumerated. You will need to locate
the SMTP(Servername --GUID) mailbox. Note there can be more than one
depending on how many stores you have. Therefore you will need to
perform step 6 on the remainding SMTP (Servernam --GUID) mailboxes.

6. Once you have double clicked the mailbox, expand Root Container.
You will see TempTable#. Highlight this, go to Actions menu and select
delete folder. In the Deleted Selected Folder Window, check "Hard
Deletion" and click OK. Right click your Root Container and select
Refresh View. Your TempTable# should not appear. Repeat this step for
all SMTP (Servername --Guid) mailboxes you have. Once complete,
restart your IIS server. This will re-create your TempTable#.

You can also stop SMTP on the server and then just delete the .eml's in the
queue directory. Although you won't have any overview of what mail you're
deleting, other than comparing the file sizes.

Thanks, stopped servivces renamed the queue folder to queue.old,
started smtp services again and went through deleting all mails from
the new queue folder, but they were all ndr's and not the actual
emails in the queue in system manager? Nothing in the old queue folder
either any other random locations these would be stored? checked
badmail folder this was also empty...

*scratches head*

Badmail is disabled by default starting with Exchange 2003 Sp1.
The SMTP queue directory is just that, messages that are being
delivered/sent by the SMTP service. I doubt you will see any of the
messages you are looking for there.

What queue are they in?
If you use message tracking ( assuming its enabled), how far does the
message get before it stops?- Hide quoted text -

Ahh right good to know about the badmail directory, cheers.

The queue i'm looking at is from Exchange System Manager

--> Servers, SERVERNAME, Queues...

About 300 large emails in there that don't seem to be doing much,
can't seem to shift them!- Hide quoted text -
