Queue to Journal mailbox filling up

Started yesterday morning but is getting progressively worse. The queue which sends mail to the journal mailbox seems to be processing email, just not fast enough, so the queue continues to get bigger and bigger. No changes were made yesterday. Five
servers in a DAG, all Exchange 2013 (CU4). Besides the obvious, "update to CU7 or CU8", does anyone have any thoughts?
Remember to mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question.

The majority of the messages sitting in the queue have the following error:
432 4.3.2 STOREDRV.Deliver; recipient thread limit exceeded
I found the following two articles which reference this issue on Exchange 2010 Hub Transport servers, but they reference modifying the 'edgetransport.exe.config' file.

Copy mails are not going in journaled mailbox

Hi,
I have hybrid set up with domains,
contoso109.com and contoso109cloud.onmicrosoft.com.
Its a new set up with some number of users.
I did set journal rule with below command,
New-JournalRule -Name "Test Journal Rule" -JournalEmailAddress [email protected] -Scope Global -Recipient [email protected] -Enabled $true.
Now whatever the mail sent to or recvied by [email protected] should go a copy to journal mailbox
[email protected]
But i am not seeing any copy mails in the inbox of [email protected] .
Is this is some problem in setting up journal rule..?
appreciate for any help.
Thanks,
Shankar

Hi Shankar,
I have some tests in my lab.
The following cmdlet can be used to send all email messages that pass through
[email protected] to [email protected]
New-JournalRule -Name "journal rule test1" -JournalEmailAddress "[email protected]" -Scope Global -Recipient
[email protected] -Enabled $true
If you need to journal to external address, you need to create and configure the external SMTP journal recipient.
Here is a thread for your reference.

Sorry if I wasn't as clear as I could have been. I'm trying to clean out the Journal mailbox after exporting the messages to a .PST file. I've tried formatting the date different ways and when I check it the format seems OK. For some reason I'm
still getting the same error. I've tried this which was suggested and I received the same error listed above:
Search-Mailbox -Identity JournalMailbox -TargetFolder inbox -TargetMailbox jimk -SearchQuery "Received:'${$startDate}'..'${$endDate}'" -DeleteContent -Force
For some reason the -SearchQuery is not accepting the variable.
Thanks, Jim

Thank You Yan Li!   I ran commands both ways and still received errors. Here's the first command and the error message:

Exchange 2013 Health Mailbox filling up security logs

I'm doing security audits and having the Exchange 2013 Health Mailbox fill up my security logs. I've read that if I delete the mailboxes and re-create them and restart the service the errors will go away. My question is how do I delete them?
I found the full mailbox name with this command.
get-mailbox -monitoring | select-object -expandproperty name
Do I use this method?
Remove-Mailbox -Identity contoso\johnor this one?Remove-Mailbox -Identity contoso\john -Permanent $trueOr something else?
Thanks!

Exchange 2010 SP3 maximum journal mailbox size for performance

Hello all,
Does anyone know if there is a limit mailbox
size near 01 terabyte than
above it generates performance problems?
We have a journaling mailbox that
reached today 1.077 GB and
from there began the process very
slowly messages to store.
All (4) Exchange Hub Trasnport that try to connect to this store get an 4.32 store drive error. A new
journal mailbox was created in the same
database, and the problem was solved.
Thanks
João Paulo.
Exchange 2010 SP3 RU8 on-premisses

Hi Paulo,
Base on my knowledge, journaling mailbox as the same as any other mailbox, the maximum size depends on the data to be stored in the mailbox, the hardware resources available, and the disaster recovery requirements
for the server where the journaling mailbox is located.
If you configure journaling mailboxes without storage quotas, monitor the Mailbox server to ensure that it doesn't exceed the available hardware resources or disaster recovery capabilities.

Journaling mailbox - Exchange 2013 Migrations from 2010

hi guys
i am about to start mailbox movement from Exchange 2010 to 2013. my setup is working fine. i have enabled journaling from Exchange 2010 and as ii found, automatically journaling rules will be reflected to exchange 2013. i had very big journaling mailbox
and then newly created New Exchange 2010 journaling mailbox. now new journaling mailbox is configured for journaling and that also still on 2010(both Old and new journaling mailbox ), new mailx is couple of weeks old (6-8 GB) and old one is 2.6 TB. So i will
move old one at the end .
my questions is if i move new journaling mailbox to 2013 before start normal Mailboxes, it will cause some issues for journaling. i use premium journaling . is it okay to move journaling mailbox at the begin ??
thank you
Indunil

Hi,
Based on my test, journal rules will be synchronized in Exchange 2013 after you create in Exchange 2010. If you create in Exchange 2013, then the rule will be synchronized in Exchange 2010.
And I did create a rule to send message to a Exchange 2013 jounal mailbox for Exchange 2010 users. It worked.
So you can migrate journal mailbox to Exchange 2013 firstly based on this test.

Exchange 2013: Inbox rules don't work on Journal Mailbox

Hello,
I've Exchange 2013 server with 2 databases:
* First database has all user mailboxes & is journaled to second database
* Second database has only 1 mailbox: Journal which collects all messages send / received from / to first database.
I made Inbox Rules on Journal Mailbox to delete unnecessary messages e.g. :
* HealthMailbox messages with Subject: Client submission probe
* [email protected] messages with Subject: Inbound proxy probe.
I noticed that these rules don't work. Why ?
best regards Janusz Such

Hi,
How do you create these Inbox Rules on journal Mailbox? Please share the detailed rule content here and we can check whether the rule was created correctly or not.
Instead of journaling all mailboxes residing on a mailbox database, I suggest we can configure journal rules to match your organization's needs by journaling individual recipients or members of distribution groups. For more information about
journal rules, please refer to:

Journal mailbox, archiving and "Client submission probe" emails

My company does db level journaling which causes all of "Client submission probe" emails to be journaled. We use Symantec Enterprise Vault to archive all the emails as soon as they arrive in journaling mailbox. I am testing various solutions to
prevent these emails from being archived and would like to know what other people have done to address this issue. I've read a few solutions and none of them we can fully implement. 1 - we can't turn off these probe emails due to IT policy, 2 - I can't create
a "hard delete" rule as it's only a client side rule, 3 - I have created a rule to move them to Deleted item but those don't empty manually and I don't like have scheduled tasks running when it comes to mailbox management (create a PS script to autoempty
the Deleted Items after a period of time). I am considering creating a transport rule that will block those emails from ever arriving at the journaling mailbox but I am yet to test this.
How have you addressed this problem?
PS. I created a transport rule but I don't think it's able to catch messages that are placed into the journaling mailbox.

Hi Rivkis,
Thank you for your question.
We would like to know more details about “Client submission probe”.
By my understanding, you want to block journaling which send from “client submission probe”, we could compare the “client submission probe” journaling with generally email journaling, if we find any differences, then create transport rule to block it. Because
journaling has database level and mailbox level, database level can exclude the specific mailbox, but mailbox level cannot exclude the specific email for journaling. If I misunderstand, please be free to let me know.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Using OS 10.4 Mail. IMAP mailboxes filling up on server. How to periodically archive on my Mac but delete from server?

I'm using OS 10.4, Mail. Accessing IMAP accounts on mail server. The server mail boxes are filling up and bouncing mail. How can I archive the old mail on my computer and delete it from the server to make room for new mail? Will creating an archive mailbox "on my mac", copying old mail from my inbox to the archive mailbox, deleting the old mail from my inbox and then synchronizing with the server work? Will moving the old mail to the archive mailbox work? Thanks in advance for any insights.

Great news, thanks!

Exchange 2010 to 2013 migration: Mailbox move requests are journaled.

Hello,
I've installed Exchange 2013 into Exchange 2010 infrastructure
[ single Exchange 2010 server; single AD site; AD = 2003 ],
Exchange 2010 has 2 databases:
1. Database with users mailboxes;    Journaling YES: Journal account.
2. Database with 1 mailbox for Journal user mentioned above:     Journaling NO.
Exchange 2013 has 1 database:
1. Database with moved users mailboxes;    Journaling YES: Journal account.
I saw that when I move mailbox from 2010 to 2013 then Journal Database INCREASES about size of MOVED MAILBOX !
I logged into Journal mailbox by OWA and didn't see any duplicate messages concerned with this mailbox user...
I'd like:
* to understand technically what happened,
* to avoid unnecessary growth of Journal Database.
I'd like not to switch off journaling for all users during mailbox move.
best regards Janusz Such

Hello Winnie,
your understanding is not correct:
I move mailboxes from first DATABASE which is journaled;
second database is dedicated solely for Journal user's mailbox and is not touched now.
Thank you for PS commands; I'll use them...
best regards Janusz Such
Hi Janusz,
Sorry for my delay. In your original posting, "I saw that when I move mailbox from 2010 to 2013 then Journal Database INCREASES about size of MOVED MAILBOX !"
My understanding is that when you move mailbox from Exchange 2010 Database 1 to Exchange 2013 database, the journal mailbox in Exchange 2010 Database 2 is incleased. Is it right?
Generally, the mailbox move would not be journaled unless there is any new email bening sent to the mailbox during the migration. Please run the commands in my original posting to check the statistics about it, and refer to Ed Crowdly's suggestion to use
Journal rule instead of database journal as a workaround.

Expire messages in queue

I am wondering if there is anyone that knows how to execute code to expire certain messages in a queue after they have been enqueued.
I only want one message at a time in the queue that has the same username/tablename combo.
USERNAME is stored in corrid in the queue table:
message_properties.Correlation := NEW_USERNAME;
and tablename is a property:
message.set_string_property(property_name => 'guid',
property_value => P_TABLE_NAME);
Example:
1. when a table is update in the db, a message is enqueued with username and tablename.
2. when a client application connects to the database, if there are messages for it's username/tablename it runs a query.
Problem:
If there were hundreds of updates with the same username/tablename, then there will be hundreds of messages waiting for the client when it connects. Thus the client will runs hundreds of queries...DON'T want this.
Thanks ahead of time

Hello,
You're right. When the journaling mailbox reaches the configured storage quota, the journaling mailbox will stops accepting journal reports. Exchange will hold undelivered journal reports in a mail queue and tries to redeliver them until delivery is successfully.
It will cause high messaging traffic. So I recommend you configure journaling mailboxes without storage quotas or configure an alternate journaling mailbox.
You can configure an alternate journaling mailbox, it will receive the journal reports as attachments in the NDRs generated when the journaling mailbox or the server on which it's located refuses delivery of the journal report or becomes unavailable.
Could you explain the the max length of the queue? It refers to DatabseMaxCacheSize or others. If it means DatabaseMaxCacheSize, you can modify the value in EdgeTransport.exe.config file.
My environment is exchange 2010. At present, there is no performace issue. I recommend you use performance counters to monitor the journaling agent.
I'm afraid that there is no way to configure the journal report messages that will never expire.
If I have any misunderstanding, please free let me know.

E2007 SP3 journaling problem

We're using Exchange 2007 SP3.
I've got tons of messages in my outbound queue, that are in a retry state. They're all to my journaling mailbox and have the following value for Last Error:
430 4.2.0 STOREDRV.Deliver.Exception:MapiExceptionNotEnoughDisk
None of the messages are over-size and I verified the Transport service's logon account is Network Service. I also ran Test-ServiceHealth, which came backup clean.
Per
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691172(v=exchg.80).aspx, I should be able to use the Mail Flow Troubleshooter tool, to learn more, but I don't see anything useful. I checked for trouble with message queues backing up and messages not being
received by some recipients. Both only returned informational messages.
What else should I be looking at? Thanks.

It doesn't say the message is too big, it says there's insufficient disk space.
Check your application log(s) for back pressure events on the HT server(s).

How can i keep a local backup copy of all our employees company email files in a single location. I believe this is called Journaling?

We are legally required to store all communications between any employees' and their clients for a period of 7 years. When we used Outlook 2010 this was not a problem with the PST file format. However our recent change to Exchange
server now leaves me with OST files which can only be opened by the original account. Normally, this wold not present a problem but i can foresee possibilities where it might.
Seven years is a long time and the original account in question could long since have been removed. With PST files, it ewas a simple matter to open them using the mail-admin account long enough to export any documents that were required
but from what I have read this may not be possible with OST files.
Additionally, Exchange server OST files can reach sizes up to 50 GB and the conversion from OST to PST seems to add about 10% or more of size. This could end up with a converted PST that would be over the size limit of any version of Outlook.
What is the correct procedure to take in order to achieve this ability to keep backups in some format that they could be searched for specific criteria and exported for printing in order to meet these legal requirements.

You are correct in that Journaling is probably the feature you want to use here. Trying to PST and OST file gives you no guarantee that the messages are all there or have not been modified by the recipient.
If you are using Exchange on-premises, you can configure journaling to a journal mailbox or a third-party appliance or cloud service. If you are using Exchange Online, you cannot journal to a cloud mailbox and your options there are to configure journaling
to an on-premises mailbox or third-party service.
An alternative would be to keep all messages in the mailboxes themselves using something like Litigation Hold. Even if a user deletes or modifies an item, it would be stored in the hidden "Recoverable Items" folder and would be accessible
via the native eDiscovery tools.
