RE: HELP IMS problems
FYI, in the time I had available I found no easy way to extract that info, so I ended with a helpdesk slave writing down through mbdbvu32 sender/time/subject of the mails in order to notify users, then deleting them. One of those mails made crash mdbvu32, probably the culprit. I ended not taking chances and erase/recreated the connector.

Well, one thing: Three days before a mail was received in temporary file C:\EXCHSRVR\imcdata\in\HFHNJBAD. However the previous one was HFHNJBA1 and the next one HFHNJBAF so I don't think that's relevant. With XFOR: 4037 Event Starting Internet Mail Service, 1067 IMC Error [Q168883] (no luck) and Q165505 XADM: How to View/Delete Messages in MTS-IN and MTS-OUT Queues I can see what is present in MTS-OUT. I could just delete thos messages (not very nice), is there any way to set them undeliverable (send back NDR to internal user) or extract the data ? Going through evey one with mdbvue32 while writing down sender/recipients/date in order to notifiy internal users is not the best solution (lengthy queue). I'm looking for the documentation of the message properties I can see i that way, where can I find that ?

The IMS just started to die without reason, no log anywhere. When restarted it does work for some seconds to die again even before the control panel thingy stops to animate its icon. Push up every IMS log available, restart.. nothing special anywhere, nothing in the event viewer, nothing (appareantly) different than usual in the exchsrvr\imcdata\log logs.

So for now I'm running a batch trying to start the connector every 30 seconds, some mail goes out, die, loop. Any idea ? It should not be a malformed incoming mail - everything waiting went to the new connector. Could be a outgoing mail, eventually (I hope) everyhting present now in the old connector queues will go out except that one, but how could I check ? The connector won't stay up long enough to check with axhange admin, at least the queue tab keeps staying grayed out. That machine had no change lately, there's no local antivirus, no disk defragger, no freshly installed software. Addendum: Now even worse. Trying to restart the service it seems to leave behind pieces in imcdata/out, and keeps adding them to the spool - which means a growing queue and multiple sent emails. ANY idea please ?
