Do you mean the database keeps increasing in size on the disk?
If that's what you mean, keep in mind that the DB is a binary blob on the
disk. When you move data out, it won't necessarily be able to shrink in
size on disk during normal online maintenance. You may need to work with it
manually. It's not a one to one comparison for email messages and db sizes.
Best bet would be to implement that upgrade ASAP and then you wouldn't have
to be so concerned about it. Option would be to offline defrag the db to
regain some space.

Subject: [exchangelist] Database is reaching it's limit
http://www.MSExchange.org/
Dear all
I have the standard exchange license installed and the maximum limit for the
exchange database is 16GB and I can only have one store.Currently my
exchange database is 14GB.
We are in a process of upgrading the license to enterprise license , at
moment I applied size limits on mailboxes and requested users to cleanup
their mail boxes.
I also created .pst folders on another drive on the server and personal
folders on the workstation for old emails.
The problem I'm having with the .pst on the server ,they keep getting
corrupted ,especially with the XP users.
The mail problem I'm having is the database size keeps decreasing even
though I free some space by deleted and archiving some of the mail.
Does anyone maybe know what could be the cause?
Thanks
Lettah
