It is *probably* normal.  Possibly not though.

Do not 'move' them.  Do another online backup.

I do a full backup every night but had a bad tape so the log files did not
get deleted and the server came to a halt.  I only have a 2gb partition for
these files.  I'll see about moving them to a different partition.  I just
did not know what was considered normal.

Thanks to all who replied,

5-10 minutes?  That's terrible!  It should be every 12 minutes!

Those are transaction logs.  They are created as email traffic is created.
Someone sends that 100MB mpeg of Scharff in a pink dress (you know the one!)
then the transaction logs will be created a little faster than that...

How often should Exchange be writing MDBDATA log files?  Our Exchange
server appears to write a new 5mb log file every 5 to 10 minutes.  I
searched the FAQs and Archives but did find an answer.  Here's our system.
 
Single Server
Exchange  5.5 SP 3
NT 4.0 SP 5
550 users
 
Is this normal?
Is this a Mail Loop? If so how can I find it?  
Is some one relaying mail off my server?  If so how can I stop it?
 
Thanks,
