We are running Exchange Server 5.5 on NT Server Standard. We send out a newsletter through mass emailing - our web server generates the newsletter and email addresses, then forwards them to this exchange server. In general this has worked, but sometimes (and I couldn't tell you when - I've tried to track down a cause, but haven't found it) when I reboot, Exchange resends the newsletter, and, I believe, only the newsletter. Can anyone give me an idea of what is happening here, maybe why? Jesse ---------- Jesse Bethel jesse.bet...@the451.com00009
Anything interesting in App Event log at the time of reboot?

You know, I thought I had covered everything - yes there is an interesting message - "The inbound message queue is corrupt. Both inbound and OUTBOUND queues will be destroyed and rebuilt. This may cause DUPLICATE OUTBOUND deliveries" (My emphasis). Sorry I didn't see that before. I'm not exactly sure how to respond to this. Is there a utility to correct this spcific problem (I have run eseutil and isinteg now and again to check for corruption of the databases, but I don't think that helps - besides, there weren't any errors). Thanks for making me go back over the log.

Stop the IMS service and delete the file IMDCATA\QUEUE.DAT. Then delete any files from the imcdata\in and imcdata\out directories that have already been delivered (usually that'd be anything that's more than two days old). Then restart the IMS service and it'll rebuild the queue.dat file.
