Is there any possibility someone is using you as a mail relay. I ask this cause you say it gets better after turning off the SMTP service. And if someone tried to pump some spam to a few hundred thousand people, that would for sure slow everything down.

The server has been fully working for the last 6 months with no problems at all. Today all of a sudden the server stopped sending and receiving mail, and users complained they could not access the internet or their mail via the exchange server, after deep diags i found that : 1, If i disconnect the Nic cable from the server all clients can re-browse the web and the lan speed is ok. 2, I have also found that if i stop the SMTP service on the server everything becomes ok again, but no mail. Can anyone put any light on this, if so please call or mail me ASAP. Thanks [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 07956 200 254 London. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
