Exchange 2000 E-mails Dumps

[JLserra]

Hi,

We currently run Windows Server 2000 w/ Exchange 2000.

We only have 1 user that is having the said problem.

the problem is everyone so often to user receives a large amount of e-mails that she has either already dealt with or seems to be a large amount of duplicates of just 1 e-mail.

Today she received 500 e-mails of 1 e-mail that duplicated many times.

i thought at first it may be the GFI spam filter but was told it was running rock solid.

Can anyone suggest anything i seem to be at a loss for idea's

Thank you

Hi, I have two questions
1. Where I can get the list of spam domains or IP’s
2. How I can enter that list into exchange 2000 to stop their emails?

Thank you

OP - delete the Outlook profile and see if that helps. Also, check the Exchange server logs.

JLSerra, at one of our offices, we sometimes have this problem with Outlook 2000/Exchange 2000. Their domain is hosted by Yahoo. It's been our experience that when a corrupt email is sitting in the users webmail inbox, Outlook has a virtual nervous breakdown because it can't get that message...and it just keeps trying and trying, then you get duplicated messages until the issue is resolved.

The fix that works for us is to log into the user's Yahoo/company domain webmail account and open every message in the inbox. When you encounter one that renders an error message like "Yahoo has encountered a problem with this message," you've got your culprit. Delete that message and continue through all the remaining messages.

You should then be able to pull down the mail without duplications.
