Ive got a 2000 SBS server, mail forwarded 110 and 25 behind basic linksys router. Connections are up and down depending where we connect, and its always problematic in hotels behind their firewalls. Some hotels offer vpn access, others not. We use vpn with outlook, otherwise OWA client. Both seem to be iffy. When Im on the road I don't have these issues. But guess who... right! The President and CEO. Connection Areas are Toronto Canada, China and Taiwan. From Toronto can ping by IP and name "mail.performancematerials.com" Hmmmmm, always the president!

Is the Exchange server itself running the Exchange -specific NAV software or the client software? The reason I ask is because if you're only running NAV on the client, Exchange doesn't care if a message is infected, it will simply pass it through to the client which must do the dirty work. If you've got the Exchange anti-virus software installed, the Exchange server will clean the infected message (theoretically) prior to delivering it to the client. In the latter scenario, the server is doing more work, especially if you're experiencing a virus storm. If you're running the client version of NAV on the Exchange server, it's probably trying to scan the Exchange databases and logs in real-time, which can cause major problems and is officially discouraged by Microsoft (and everybody else for that matter).

I'm assuming it's the volume, since it has not had this effect until lately. Perhaps it's a particular virus that is causing it. How can I tell? Thanks for the quick response! -----Original Message----- From: Lara, Greg [mailto:GLara@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2004 12:43 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Viruses shutting down IMS on Exchange Server 5 .5 http://www.MSExchange.org/ Jason, what is causing the adverse effect, the volume of virus messages you're receiving?

I am using Norton Antivirus 7.5 Corporate Client on Exchange Server........ although Norton is able to quarantine the viruses successfully, it is still having an adverse effect on the mail services. My Exchange server has been in production for about a month. This problem has only started happening the last two days.
