I use http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/contig.shtml (contig. exe) via a batch file and run it with the windows scheduler service at 3 am every morning. I made a batch file called maildfg. bat that has this info it: cls net stop "IMail Queue Manager Service" net stop "IMail POP3 Server" net stop "IMail SMTP Server" net stop "IMail Web Service" net stop "Imail Web Calendar Service" c:\tools\contig.exe c:\imail\* -v -s net start "IMail POP3 Server" net start "IMail SMTP Server" net start "IMail Queue Manager Service" net start "IMail Web Service" net start "Imail Web Calendar Service" cls HTH, ~Rick ___________________________________________________________________ Virus Scanned and Filtered by http://www.FamHost.com E-Mail System.
