Hi John, Glad the article helped you out. With regard to your second question: The EDB file is home to your Outlook (MAPI) users. All the content is for MAPI clients are going to be stored in the EDB file. The STM file is home to your IMAIL clients (OWA, IMAP, POP3) and all their content is going to be stored in that file. Headers for all messages are stored in both files, but message bodies are promoted to MAPI (and therefore stored in EDB file) when an Outlook client requests the message. If you have a lot of IMAIL types users, I would expect your STM file to be larger then the EDB file. And the reverse to be true for the more Outlook specific servers.

Thank you. John PS. This is another exchange problem I noticed. I have a uppercampus.edb and an uppercampus.stm. The edb file is approx. 500 mg and the stm file is about 3.5 gb. Do you have any idea why this is happening? The reason it's a problem is because I can't get a complete backup on one tape because of it's large size. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Fugatt [mailto:mark@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 11:41 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Re: Open relay still exists after http://www.MSExchange.org/ John You have not mentioned what version of Exchange you are running, Exchange 2000 is a closed relay by default, Exchange 5.5 is an open relay by default. If its Exchange 2000 have you read my article on www.msexchange.org?
