I have 3 servers total, 2 of which have an IMS on them. The one that we are having problems with is an IMS that is used only to send/receive secure client e-mail via direct connections or vpn connections with clients. -Original Message- From: Joyce, Louis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 12:11 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Inbound Messages Awaiting Conversion Do you just have the one exchange server?

RE: Inbound Messages Awaiting Conversion
Have you tried reinstalling the IMS? It sounds like the MAPI thread inside the IMS that removes the inbound messages from the queue might be screwed up somewhat.

Re: Inbound Messages Awaiting Conversion
Casey, I have seen several instances of corrupted messages getting stuck in the MTS-IN queue as you describe. Most were messages that had a virus and were partially cleaned at a remote site and them mailed out. Have a look a Q165505 at the MS Support website. Also, are you sure this particular server is at SP4 as this behavious was a problem that wasn't fully fixed until SP2.

RE: Inbound Messages Awaiting Conversion
Michael, Thanks for the reply. This server wasn't build until after SP4 came out so that is the only service pack level that has been applied to it. I believe that the problem does have to do with corrupt messages because I removed everything from the IMCdata in folder to another location and copied a few messages up at a time and they were delivered successfully.

Re: Inbound Messages Awaiting Conversion
I've seen this when the AVAPI thread loses its way. I'm not familiar enough with NAV to be able to say whether it can be set to ignore the IMS queues, but that's what I'd do, letting NAV scan the mail later instead of holding up the conversion process. - Original Message - From: Friese, Casey [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 11:18 AM Subject: RE: Inbound Messages Awaiting Conversion I am using Nav for Exchange 2.0 which is set to scan in MAPI only mode -Original Message- From: Chris Scharff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 12:06 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Inbound Messages Awaiting Conversion Do you have a file based AV scanner on the server which is scanning the Exchange working directories by chance?
