My store on 5.5 is running at 100% CPU, I have stopped, started the services, rebooted the machine but it continues. Mail still moving both ways, but this needs to be addressed. Machine response very slow, mail moving very slow.

Thanx

Single site?
Single/multi sites?
Private & Public IS conf for garbish objects
IMC config.

If you prefer, feel free to send that info. to my e-mail address.

Exchange, by design, uses ALL available resources (memory and CPU cycles). It then releases necessary resources as other processes/applications need them.

Without knowing the configuration of your server, I would suspect that it is marginal for a server running Exchange (if you just meet the Microsoft minimum hardware requirements, that is exactly what you have - a server that is marginally capable of running Exchange).

Has Exchange always run this way on your server? If not, what haschanged recently?

What other processes/applications are running?

Are there any errors creeping up in your event logs?

Without more information, it's impossible to say whether Exchange is running as it should be expected to on a marginal server, or if it is truly experiencing problems.

In the only case I've run into anything slightly similar, the server was being used as an open relay mail server and was processing thousands or messages an hour... It's been a few years, so check with technet, but look at your outbound que to see how many messages are sitting in there. If it's full, examine the content of the messages... You can also check your logs and see what kind of mail is being sent out. Form this you can find a fix on technet that will help. I'm not much help past that... if this is the case, it'll work.
