RE-apply Exchange SP(I'm assuming NT 4.0 sp6a was last). See if change. If none, Try running the Exchange Optimizer (in -v mode) and look for whitepaper that explains IMS thread settings to optimize is for an IMS server.

If no change:
Next try to rebuild server and this time, if possible, load WIN2K Server. Much more stable NOS.

The other question I would have is: What else is this server doing? And what kind of server(brand) is it?? Is it on the WHCL? How many procs? memory? what speed proc?

Any Suggestions?

Scenario:

- Twice in the last 30 days our IMC has stopped delivering inbound mail (messages shown being held in temporary file location), outbound mail continues to be delivered

- Not able to stop IMC (or any other Exchange services), only way to fix (or so it appears) is to reboot server.
- L0000000.log is approx. 2.4gb in size (appear to have plenty of disk space on drive)
- various levels of logging enabled, including: SMTP Protocol Log - medium
- Messages showing up in the queue "Inbound messages awaiting delivery"

Environment: Exchange Server 5.5 SP4 running on NT4 Sp6a.

Thanks,

Ken
