STF Files |

Hi,
The scenario.
Exchange 2000 SP3 on W2K sp latest, no outstanding patches (hfnetcheck).
SP4 was installed to attempt to solve the problem.
SP3 was installed previously.
GFI Mail Security for Exchange V8.0 is installed.
The system had been running 100% for years.
~P2 400 with 384 MB Ram, not other server processes installed.
(migrating to exchange 2003 on windows 2003 on dual xeons...)
The internet connection is ADSL, there are 25 users for the exchange server.
The Problem:
Lots of STF files are produced, memory and vm goes haywire, exchange becomes
unresponsive.
Details:
The STF files started being produced when the customer configured
replication. In response to this and issues with virtual memory and ram
usage heading sky high (over 1gb of VM on a 384 mb system), they installed
Exchange SP4.
The replication target is at the far end of a 512/256 mbs network link
shared for other uses. The target system is running Windows 2003 Server with
Exchange 2003 Server & latest patches. They report that replication seemed
to start without configuring it and that things went really haywire when the
replication config was formalised.
The exchange server becomes completely unresponsive at times and for no
apparent reason manufactures large numbers of stf files and consumes ram and
vm.
Any ideas on what could be wrong and what they should do?
