-------------------------------------------------------This happens when a
message containing an X-* header is promoted to MAPI
from the STM file in Exchange 2003. That's the only time it happens within
Exchange itself.
The default limit for named properties in a store is set to 16K and the hard
limit is 32K.
MFCMAPI allows you to examine the named properties contained in a store.
This may allow you to determine the source.
To eliminate the named properties, move the mailbox to another store.

-------------------------------------------------------Thanks but I started
and ended there.
Its a good reference for recovering from exhausting the qouta but
doesn't help much with determining why you got (or keep) getting there
to begin with.
I did what the recomendation was and 6 weeks later i have about 2000
named props per store and hitting the trans log limit
And speaking of trans logs, I'm just wondering if its normal to run
out of generations as quickly as I have.
I'd say there are about 100,000 emails journalED to these mailboxes per
day.
Thanks
