Re: Incoming mail stops..

how much free space? this definitely sounds like a space issue...nothing in
the event logs? sounds to me like a drive that contains some processing or
transaction logs is filling up...do you have any protocol logging turned up,
or anything like that?

I have an Exchange 2003 server that works well for weeks, and then will
refuse incoming mail without any warning. It still allows internal mail,
it
does not dismount the inf store, it leaves nothing in the event log, it
still
sends mail out OK. Typically it will start running after I backup the
Information Store.

So many of you may think it is a size limitation, but the hard drive has
free space and the event viewer says that after an online defrag that
night
the store still had 5 gig free. (I bumped up the limit to 30 gb, the
store
hovers around 25/ 26).

Any ideas where I could start? With no warning and backups taking 5
hours,
it is not making anyone happy. By the way, I do have scheduled backups
that
flush the logs every weekend...

Thanks in advance.
