Do you have any Entourage users?

(Downloading ExMon and running it can be very helpful in determining
this.)

If so, there is a known issue and there is a hotfix for it.

Subject: Slightly long - Log files filling up disk for 1 Storage Group
(that is backed up)

Customer has a mixed Windows 2003 AD and a mixed Exchange 2003
environment.
Yesterday morning they moved some mailboxes from an E2K server to an
E2K3 server around 7:30am.  It took about 1 hour to move about 4GB.  At
3pm the Storage Group the mailboxes were moved to crashed.  Turned out
the log files had filled up the drive (10GB).  Backups the night before
were completed successfully and all log files were flushed at that time.
The Storage Group is only 11GB is size total.  For a quick fix, we moved
the log file drive to a larger drive and did a backup.  

After that, log files continued to fill up the drive, sometimes being
created at a pace of 3/minute.  Did another backup and then turned on
circular logging.  However, need to figure out what could possibly be
causing the large amount of log files.  Here's what we have tried so
far:

1.  AntiVirus - ran a manual scan on the entire Storage Group with
Symantec AV for Exchange 4.5.2 (it was resident on the box anyway
w/updated defs).
No viruses found

2.  Using Message Tracking, checked to see if a large email was sent to
a large number of people, but didn't find anything greater than an 18MB
file sent to 3 people.  

3.  Checked Public Folder replication, which seems fine, and no new PF's
were added today

4.  All SMTP queues were almost empty

5.  Turned up Diagnostic Logging but did not see anything out of the
ordinary that I couldn't track down to "this error can be safely
ignored"

We have not had any user complaints about mail not flowing.  I've
checked Public Folder replication and it seems to be working correctly.
Both new Folders and contents in the folders are replicating to the
other Exchange servers.  

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
