Very Large TMP Files

Can anyone help. Periodically, (every day) we find that our mail server has very large .tmp files stored in c:\winnt\

There are 3 files on average, starting with X blah blah.

We have accused Groupshield as the dirty culprit. We would like to find out if it is groupshield and if so, why they are so large, and if they need to be, where we can change where they are saved.

Any help would be appreciated, restarting the IS on Exchange every day in the knowledge that one day it won't has given me a rather unsettling nervous twitch.

Thanks

I work with this product on a daily basis. I have never seen this issue. You should install the webshield product to prevent viruses from getting to the mail server then disable the GSE services for a day or so and see if the tmp files are created. If they are not created then call/email support at NAI.

SUCESS!

Thx for the advice but I have found it (to quote that Greek Geezer!)

The tmp files were created because debugging for Groupshield was enabled on that server. Once disabled (which is a reg hack) the files are gone! and they stay gone.
