Is the database also growing? is there perhaps a mail loop of some sort generating this traffic? Do you have any applications that relay through Exchange?Additionally, have you seen this article?

Hi, the database is not growing, Ive already seen the article above and still I cant find any solution that might have cause this issue. I have an application that relay through my exchange, I already disable it just to isolate the problem and still the trace logs grows rapidly. best regards, radz

Its been over a week since your last post, how have you been dealing with this issue? You may also wish to examine the protocol logs to see if you can identify recipients or senders that are especially busy.Mike Crowley: MCT, MCSE, MCTS, MCITP: Enterprise Administrator / Messaging Administrator
