Are you sure there isn't a mail loop going on?  I don't know of a whole lot
else that would cause the IS to grow rapidly.  Have you checked the mail
queues?  Do you have Automatic Replies to the Internet enabled?  Couple
things to check at least.  You could also check your log files.  If in fact
there is a loop, you ought to have tons of log files.  I don't necessarily
always trust the information conveyed within Exchange Admin relating to
Mailbox size and such.  It can be inaccurate.

Subject: Information Store Overload


Strange thing has been happening lately.

NT4 Sp6a. Exchange 5.5 SP4 w/OWA and IMC.

For the past year and a half, our Information store has always been between
3 and 5 GB. In the last two weeks, it has jumped to over 15 GB and is
growing rapidly.

I pulled a list of total mailboxes and messages and I came up with a total
of roughly 2.8 GB of data, a far cry from the 15.9 GB that my PRIV.EDB is
showing. Any ideas what could be taking up so much space? and how to remove
it/fix it?

At this rate, I'm going to run out of drive space and the IS is gonna crash.

Thanks for your help, everyone.

Denis
