Adam, You need to increase the number of messages required to form another association. It's a site based property, so site -> configuration -> mta site configuration -> messaging defaults and increase the threshold (msgs). This is the number of messages before it starts another channel. E.g. if you have 150 messages queued and the threshold is 100 it will use 2 channels (+1 for important messages). Up to a max of 9 (+1). -----Original Message----- From: Adam Jacobs [mailto:adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 15 August 2002 18:05 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Two Exchange 5.5 Questions... http://www.MSExchange.org/ Firstly, does anyone know how to get around MSExchangeMTA warnings in the application event log - namely The limit on the number of associations allowed to and from entity /O=Organisation/OU=Site/CN=CONFIGURATION/CN=SERVERS/CN=Server/CN=MICROSO FT MTA has been reached. The limit is 9. [MTA XFER-IN 16 34] (14) Secondly, reclaiming lost space in the store - is defragmentation the only option?
