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.
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.
