Yesterday we ran out of space on our mail server drives :kickbum:
we found 87GB of log files :Plot: in the \mdbdata\ directory
wtf is all that about ?
looks like it been making lots of 5mb log files every day since it was installed (not by me) , any ideas ?
sounds familiar, I seem to recall being called out to a win2000 that had the same problem. Sorry I can’t help more though, at the moment I can’t recall what I did to rectify, all I can think about is ‘emerge logrotate’ :chuckle:

I also had this…turned off the logging for most everything. It’s ok to log all but if you get lots of large attachments or have lots of users…wow it will grow fast!
whats your backup solution? we ran veritas, and when veritas runs a full backup it clears down the logs, we found this happened when veritas was failing to hapily complete a full backup. we found ours would complete but complain because there were mailboxes open and therefore not complete properly, failing to complete it kept teh log files, there is a switch somewhere to change it so it dosen’t fail just warns, thus letting it complete properly.
long winded but it may help
Transaction logs mate. Used to get from the point of your last backup to the point just before failure. Daily backup jobs with an exchange aware products will clear them down.
