2 issues with Exchange: Inetinfo.exe is taking up 80% of CPU & Exchsrvr\mailroot\VS 1\queue is filling up.
We have a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with Microsoft Exchange 2000 on it and we have emails coming and going from internally and externally that are taking 5 mins to 20mins to come in. Our employees have been complaining about email being slow so we investigated it and found inetinfo.exe taking 80% of the CPU as well the Exchsrvr\Mailroot\VS 1\Queue filling up which never does and very slowly releases the emails. To get things back to "normal" we have been rebooting the server which sometimes works. Our memory usage looks to be at a normal level but the CPU is just getting hit. I know adding a CPU is usually the answer to something like this but have any ideas?
