The generic values you gave sounds like a good starting point. We are a small business with 42 users. I already monitor some aspects of exchange in a performance monitor, but will add counters if necessary to monitor the SMTP queue growth. Thanks for the link. I had already found it and that has been very helpful.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I am currently setting up a email notification for monitoring when SMTP queue growth happens in Exchange 2003. What would be some good values for the warning state (minutes), and the critical state (minutes)? I'm just not sure what would be appropiate values for this. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

SMTP Queue Growth in Exchange 2003

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
