Hello there.
We have had this problem twice in a matter of a month now. All of the sudden we are having the transaction logs filling all the space on the email server C drive and consequently the exchange servers shut down. In both ocassions stopping the services are restarting them did the trick but we are concerned about the reason why this is happening. We are currently doing a full backup every night with the circular logging set to ON.
I checked on the Microsoft Technet and came across a 'promising' article. It relates to the .chk corruption as the possible reason for why the online backups fail to remove the log files but it also points out to the error as being recorded on the Application event log as Event id: 61 and we have not have any of those on our event log.
Has this happened to anyone?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Since you are doing full backups nightly you don't need to have circular logging on - turn it off.
