Backlogged Internet Mail Service Queue

Run the following Performance Monitor chart views: Server IMC Traffic, Server IMC Statistics, and Server IMC Queues to determine whether the public information store queue is causing the problem. These chart views show how much traffic the Internet Mail Service is transmitting to and from the Internet.

To improve Internet Mail Service processing speed do any of the following:

• Restrict the amount or type of mail users can send to the Internet.
• Move the Internet Mail Service to another server.
• Add more disks to the stripe set.
• Use multiple disk controllers.
• Add one or more caching disk controllers that cache read and write operations.
