Richard,
But the thing is that we don't have the virus running around anymore...
I've cleaned the infected machine and it's not putting files on the file
server anymore... NetShield kept the files off the server(s)... Other
mailboxes / users aren't experiencing the strange speed slowdown that I
am....
I should also add that doing ANYTHING in my mailbox (opening a message,
replying to a message, etc) causes a 15-20 second pause on any machine
that
I try to open the mailbox on... Other mailboxes open fine...

Go to www.trend.com and download the fix utility for nimda. Also
clean
the server out first and disconnect every client mmachine from the
network
until the server is clean. Then run the fix on the client machines with
out
them connected to the network. I had the same problem with outlook.
You
still have the virus coming or its still on your server. also i would
download the patch for IIS if you have it.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the list , here's my situation in brief:
Yesterday someone on our network was infected with the Nimda virus
(through
an infected web page and unpatched IE 5.01 install, but that's beside
the
point)... I had Netshield 4.5 running on our main file server, set to
email
me when a virus was found on the system... Within 5 minutes, I had over
8000 email messages from the scanner, from the infected machine trying
to
put .eml files onto the server. Now my mailbox is VERY slow... I've
tried
opening my mailbox with Outlook XP and Outlook 2000, also tried
connecting
to it with Outlook Express and IMAP, but IMAP was only downloading like
1
message per second (even though I set it to only download headers, on a
100
Mbit network connection!) When trying to delete the 8000 messages with
OL
XP, between each deletion I get the dialog stating that "Outlook is
retrieving data from the Microsoft Exchange server...." etc and pauses
for
20-25 seconds between each message deletion... It gives me an estimated
time remaining of 39 hours!
Can anybody give me an idea how to best clear these things out of my
mailbox, or why it's choking so bad on these messages, they're each only
560-580 bytes (plain text messages)... Server is Exchange 5.5 SP4...
Please CC: replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] since my Exchange Box is almost
unusable!
TIA!
