Re: Further problems with exchange on sbs2003.

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Ive completely uninstalled (only temp to test) the antivirus and the same problem persists. The antivirus is exchange aware and has been running ok for a few years.

Make sure you antivirus software on the server is not scanning the following files/folders.


Files/Folders to exclude from both realtime and scheduled scans:

Folders
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\Networking\POP3\Incoming mail
C:\Program Files\exchsrvr
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv
C:\Windows\system32\lls

Files
c:\pagefile.sys
c:\windows\system32\licstr.cpa

Having had problems with my server i built a new server and moved the mailboxes over. Everything seemed to be going fine until again mail stopped coming into the user mailboxes. Following various references around the internet it looks like its the local SMTP system causing a problem. The way things work here is the pop3 connector picks up various mails from various isp's and puts most directly into user mailboxes. There is also one account (the primary domain) that picks up email and sorts it as a global mailbox using the exchang email details for the user ot route. This was all workign fine until a few days ago (i presume some update thats finally downloaded on the new server).

It looks like all the mails are getting as far as the Exchsrvr\Mailroot\vsi 1\PickUp folder then sitting there. Ive run all the checks i could find on the internet without any luck. The local SMTP services are all running.

Any ideas??

Many Thanks

Adrian
