SBS >> lost email messages I had my ISP bag my email due to my SBS 2003 system board going bad and
waiting for replacement. When I restore the SBS all I have recieved is the
email send and recieved from the date the server has been up.I double check
to mak sure the same username mailboxes were recreated, but still not bagged
email. I called the ISP and they said I should have recieved email that was
bagged and to check my logs. How do I check my logs in exchange??? I only am
aware of the windows event logs. Is that what they mean?? Any help would be
grateful. Thank you.

SBS >> lost email messages Hey Ben,
I tried looking in that location allready. There is no folder named SmtpSvc1
within the System32 folder. Could it be the that Exchange places it in a
different place on a Small Business Server 2003 Standard Edtion platform.
Many thanks.
Joey

SBS >> lost email messages Hi Joe,

It is possible that SMTP logging was not enabled on your SMTP virutal
server. To check Open Exchange System Manager and navigate to:
Servers | ServerName | protocols | SMTP | Right click properties on Default
SMTP Virtual Server

See if "Enable Logging" is checked.
